My Stir Fry Low Fat Low Sodium Recipes

STIR FRY NOODLES

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Let sit while you prep the remaining ingredients.
• In a small bowl or large liquid measuring cup, combine the three-quarters of the green onions, the remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce, hoisin, garlic, ginger, and vinegar. Set near the stove. Reserve the remaining green onions for serving.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles until they are about 1 to 2 minutes from done, according to package instructions. They should be very al dente, still a little too firm to eat, but not excessively hard and chewy. Drain and toss with 1/2 tablespoon of the oil to prevent sticking.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken. Cook until golden and fully cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• To the now-empty skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the vegetables and cook until they begin to brown and soften but are still fairly crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add half the scallion mixture and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the noodles. Cook, using tongs to toss the noodles and coat them with the sauce, for 30 seconds.
• Add the eggs, sriracha, chicken, and remaining scallion mixture.
• Continue to stir fry and toss the noodles, until the eggs are cooked through and the noodles are tender, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
• Remove from heat. Sprinkle with the reserved green onions.

MY STIR "FRY" (LOW FAT, LOW SODIUM)

Steps:

• Strip the tough membranes off the broccoli and thinly slice the florets (I use the stalks also).
• Have all ingredients cut and ready to go.
• Use a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid.
• Add water or broth to the skillet, raise heat to high. Once the liquid starts boiling, lower heat and steam the veggies and chicken (if using), for about 3-4 minutes, depending on degree of crispness or tenderness desired.
• Uncover to make sure that liquid has evaporated.
• Add oil, soy sauce and peanut sauce; fry quickly for about a minute.
• Season to taste with black and/or cayenne pepper.
• If you are adding cashews and want them very crunchy, sprinkle them on top just before serving. If you want them slightly tenderized, add them earlier so as to briefly cook them.
• Enjoy!
• NOTE: If your snow pea pods are very young and tender, you may want to add them a couple of minutes after beginning cooking.
