Stir Fried Chicken with Bok Choy

Overview
A simple chicken dish that has very few simple ingredients and can be prepared quickly. I have used baby Bok Choy for this dish. Bok Choy is full of nutrients and brings a nice crunch to this dish. Adding a tablespoon of sesame oil at the end to this dish brings out a nutty aroma and flavor.


Stir Fried Chicken with Bok Choy

Ingredients - Bok Choy, Chicken Breast, Red Onion, Garlic, Ginger,
Crushed red pepper flakes, soy sauce, not shown in picture
sesame oil and corn starch

Ingredients
2 cups thin sliced chicken breast
4 cups Bok choy sliced
1 cup thin sliced red onions
2 tablespoons ginger thin sliced
2 tablespoons garlic thin sliced
Crushed red pepper flakes - 1 - 2 tablespoons
Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
Sesame oil 1 tablespoon
Vegetable oil - 3 tablespoons
Salt to taste
Corn starch 1 tablespoons for thickening gravy

Steps
1. Heat oil in a wok. When the oil gets hot add the thin sliced ginger and garlic saute few minutes and add the crushed red pepper flakes and fry few more minutes.
2. Add the sliced red onions to this and saute till the onions are light brown.
3. Add the thin sliced chicken breasts along with soy sauce to this and stir and cook till the chicken is cooked well and most of the gravy has evaporated.
