Simple Chicken Stirfry

Chicken Stirfry

I must go shopping for produce on the wrong days because almost every time I’m at the market all the veggies look so sad.

Every time except for last Wednesday that is. That day I found the most perfect bunches of baby bok choy I’ve ever seen. No nasty holes from bugs or wilty looking leaves, it was my lucky day!

Baby Bok Choy

I threw together this simple recipe to make use of my find. It was very tasty over some brown rice!

INGREDIENTS
3 – 4 pieces chicken tenderloin
1 green bell pepper
1 teaspoon oil
3 baby bok choy
1 teaspoon black bean sauce
2 teaspoons oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 stalk green onions (optional)

In a nonstick pan (with just a teaspoon of oil) I added in the chicken tenderloin and bell pepper, both cut into bite sized pieces.

Chicken Stirfry

I cut the baby bok choy into thirds and put that in the pan along with the black bean sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.

At the end I thickened it with a mixture of 1/3 cup water mixed with about a teaspoon of cornstarch and garnished with green onions.

Chicken Stirfry

I have to say it again – so simple and yet so tasty!

sounds really good and I like that it is fast! no need to stand in front of the stove for very long.

Baby bok choy! I tried to grow that but with the weird hot/cold/hot pattern that we had in June, the plants got confused and bolted. Next year I’m hoping to make something similiar to this stirfry…..after the plant flowered and seeded, I dried the tiny pods out and saved the seeds!

Hey kat,
I know, nowdays I can’t handle anything that takes to long to make. I’m so tired after coming home from work!

Hey rowena,
That was so smart to save the seeds. I hope they work out next time! :)

That is nice bok choy. I always find it to be sad looking too, like someone lit all the edges on fire! So wrong!

I was just going to say that, that must be the best looking choy I have seen! Looks delectable! ^^

Hi Kevin,
I can’t wait to make it again. But first I have to find another good bunch of bok choy!

Hi jenny,
I got this bunch at Don Quijote. But it’s rare that I find a batch that look like this good over there.
