Chicken Marinade Stir Fry
Stir frying is a method of cooking, traditionally within a wok, that involves stirring food frequently over high heat. Most commonly, a stir fry is made with a combination of chopped meat and vegetables. Chicken is a low-cost meat to include in stir fry dishes, because it readily absorbs traditional seasonings, such as soy sauce. For the most flavorful chicken stir fry, marinate the meat prior to cooking. Making a chicken marinade stir fry takes little effort to produce a dinner for two. Does this Spark an idea?
