I’m a huge stir fry fan of the stir fry recipes and love this one. Keeping it simple is very nice. I hadn’t ever used Tamari. Maybe that’s the secret to creating something tasty? Thanks for the recipes and stove updates.
I make a ton of stir fry at home and plan to do one for a bunch of people on an up-coming river trip. My thoughts are to do everything at home that I possibly can- cutting the veggies and chicken, precooking the rice. I usually buy sauce, there are a lot out there that don’t have any nasty ingredients in them. The ones I usually buy consist of tamari (basically gluten free soy sauce, also a by-product of miso) or soy sauce, and either rice or apple cider vinegar, plus seasonings like garlic, ginger, onion, etc. San-J is a good brand.
My cooking method is a little different too.
First I cook the veggies (broccoli, ginger, garlic, peppers, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, sugar snaps, sometimes pineapple), then just add the chicken, once the chicken’s done I add the sauce, cook it till it’s hot and VOILA! This ensures that your veggies are cooked to taste and that the chicken isn’t over-cooked, and it eliminates a step. Toss some fresh green onions in there, serve over jasmine, basmati or SHORT GRAIN brown rice (because long grain sucks).
I also like a fuck-ton (yes, this is a form of metric measurement) of sriracha, though that goes on my plate separately because most people don’t enjoy burning their taste buds off quite as much as I do. 🙂
Thanks for the great feedback. I am with you on preparation at home as it saves a ton of time on the river. I love the idea to cook your meal at home, seal it, and freeze it for the trip. Then you have an extra ice block until you are ready to eat it. The ice trick is more important in warmer environments.
