Stir fry! When I heard about this cooking method then my mind will be blown by a full of simple, practical, quick and easy to be prepared type of dish. Stir frying is a Chinese cooking technique in which ingredients are fried in a small amount of very hot oil while being stirred in a wok. The technique originated in China and in recent centuries has spread into other parts of Asia and the West. Many claim that this quick, hot cooking seals in the flavors of the foods, as well as preserving their color and texture. A lot of variety of vegetables and other ingredients are easily processed in the stir fry. For office workers who went home at late night like me, stir fry is a very good alternative for comfort and quick serving meals.
For this recipe I used boneless chicken breast, red bell peppers, frozen peas and corn. I also add ground cinnamon and clove to enrich the taste and as an alternative version of seasoning for stir. A fragrant aroma spread up the whole house.
Here is the simple recipe.
