Yep, that's what I made.
Cut skinless breasts into small cubes then sauteed in ONE TBSP of Peanut oil! - Yes, I made SURE to measure it 'cause I didn't want to use too much.
Then, when the chicken was "almost" done, I added a couple of cloves of minced garlic and about 1/2 inch of ginger, finely chopped. Finished that, bowled it, and in the same pot, added 1 more tbsp. peanut oil and stir-fried some rice (3 cups PREPARED rice), peas, carrots, green onions, and soy sauce. When the rice has been stir-fried for a couple of minutes, I added the chicken/ginger/garlic mixture and a couple of good shots of teriyaki sauce.
Light, healthy, and FILLING!!
FYI Browned chicken flesh (not fat or skin) has a lot of the umami flavor. Yes, it makes it chewy.
ReplyDeleteSounds good! I am trying to diet. Did well today but tonight was busy working on my laptop catching up and ate a half piece of pizza and a cinnamon breadstick. That blew it!
ReplyDeleteUmami (IPA: [uː mɑː mi]), popularly referred to as savoriness, is one of the five basic tastes together with sweet, sour, bitter and salty. Umami is a loanword from the Japanese umami (うま味) meaning "delicious taste"
