Suri's Scrumptious Stir-fry
Two chicken thighs, sliced thin against the grain and doused with teriyaki sauce, set to chill.
a handful of baby carrots, quarter-length cut
several stalks of celery, chopped
fresh ginger, chopped
fresh garlic, minced
1 star anise
Mix the garlic, ginger and anise in heated oil. Add soy sauce. Add chicken. Cook until almost done, add carrots and celery. Cook until celery begins to become slightly translucent but is still firm. Add a few drops of sesame oil. Add a small amount of cornstarch to thicken liquid. Remove anise (important!) and serve over brown rice.
OMG.
(I have to say it: I make killer stir fry. Just killer. And, best of all, it's not only a lot cheaper than getting take-out, it's a hell of a lot healthier!)
Note: stir-fry is forgiving, you can add pretty much anything you want, so long as you keep the proportions right. I like cashews in mine, when I have them. Other people swear by water chestnuts, or mushrooms, or even string beans.
