HONEY PLUM SOY STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Place the soy sauce, honey, plum preserves, chicken stock, cornstarch, ginger, sriracha, garlic and scallions in a mason jar. Secure the lid and shake until everything is combined. Set aside.
• Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for 2 minutes, then remove and set aside. Add the onions, broccoli and cauliflower and cook until the veggies have softened but still have a bite, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Return the chicken to the skillet and pour over the sauce. Stir everything together and cook until the sauce is very thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Add a little water if needed to make it more saucy.
• Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice. Garnish with some sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Enjoy.

PINEAPPLE CHICKEN STIR FRY

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and butter. When the butter is melted and the oil is hot, add the chicken, bell peppers and the whites of the scallions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, ginger, chile paste, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the reserved pineapple juice to a mason jar. Secure the lid and shake until mixed thoroughly, then set aside.
• Mix together the fried onions, peanuts, sesame seeds and chile-lime seasoning in a small bowl. Set aside.
• When the chicken has cooked through, add the drained pineapple and stir to combine. Give the sauce a final shake and add it to the skillet. Allow the sauce to come to a boil and thicken, about 1 minute.
• Serve over the rice, garnishing with the peanut mixture and reserved scallion greens.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt. Add the rice to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken in one layer and season with the red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper. Cook until light brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the chicken, add the bell peppers, garlic, ginger and scallion whites and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir together the balsamic and brown sugar and add it to the skillet. Cook until the vinegar reduces a bit, about 2 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and add it to the skillet. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
• Remove the rice from the pot and drain. Cut open the bag(s) and serve up. Spoon some of the chicken over the rice and garnish with the sliced scallion greens.

CASHEW CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the vinegar, brown sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, 1/4 cup of the soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of the ginger. Set aside.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and saute until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• In the same skillet, stir-fry the garlic, bell peppers and remaining 2 tablespoons ginger, keeping them crisp-tender. Deglaze the skillet with the sherry and scrape up any brown bits. Add the reserved soy mixture and cook until the mixture boils, about 1 minute. Whisk together the cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup soy in a small bowl, then stir the slurry into the skillet. Add the cashews and water chestnuts. Add 1/4 cup water to thin the sauce. Cook for another minute.
• Serve garnished with the scallions and cilantro.

SUMMER CHICKEN STIR FRY

Steps:

• Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken and garlic, then sauté until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Increase the heat to high, then throw in the zucchini. Stir it around for about 45 seconds, then scoot the zucchini to the edges of the pan. Throw in the corn and cook it for a minute, then push it to the edges of the pan. Throw in the grape tomatoes, stir them around for a minute, then sprinkle on some salt and pepper to taste.
• Next, throw the chicken back in. Stir everything around for about 45 seconds, or until it's all combined and hot. Pour it onto a big platter.
• Sprinkle on the fresh basil and some Parmesan shavings then ... this is the best part ... squeeze the lemon all over the top. This adds a wonderful, indescribable freshness.
