Asian Stir Fry

Asian Stir Fry

This can work with anything as long as you cut the pieces small enough. Chicken, steak, shrimp, even just vegetables.

Prepare the sauce first in a small pot over low heat to dissolve the sugar and get the corn starch to thicken.  Heat the olive oil in a skillet or wok over medium heat and allow chicken to sear for at least a full minute. Flip, stir fry, remove and keep warm.  Add in vegetables for a few minutes, add back in chicken, and pour sauce over the mixture, continuing to cook for at least another 5 minutes.  Serve over hot rice.
