Today we have a WINNING recipe for you so that you can be FIT FOR DUTY and FIT FOR LIFE!
Today’s WINNING recipe to meet Coach JC’s 10 WINNING Habits is General Tso’s Chicken-BAM, Where are my veggies? Where is my protein?
Ingredients:
- 5 tbls. of cornstarch
- 2 tbls of reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbls of cooking white wine
- 1 large egg white
- 1.5 lbs of skinless chicken thighs
- 3/4 cups of water
- 2 tbls of hoisin sauce
- 1 tbls rice vinegar
- 3 tbls of sesame oil
- 3 scallions-sliced
- 3 large carrots-sliced thin
- medium size crown of broccoli
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 2 cups of snow peas
- Brown rice
Directions for preparation:
- Combine 4 tbls of cornstarch, 1 tbls of soy sauce and the white cooking wine, and the large egg white in a bowl. Add your chicken and stir to coat the chicken, then set aside for later
- put your veggies and meat that you are about to prepare over a bed of green cabbage that is chopped.
- cut the broccoli off the crown and into bite size pieces and lightly steamed-under steam these because you will be cooking them longer a little later and you don’t want them to be soggy.
- In another bowl combine the remaining 1 tbls each of cornstarch, soy sauce, and white cooking wine, water, hoisin and rice vinegar stir this all together and set aside.
- In a cast iron skillet heat 2 tbls of sesame oil over high heat, add the chicken, cook without turning for a few minutes, then flip and do the same.
- In the large deep sauce pan place the remaining sesame oil, scallions and chopped garlic cloves. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, maybe for 3-4 minutes. Next add all of the veggies and cook, stirring often. Only cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Finally add the remaining sauce in the smaller bowl to the veggies and cook for 2 more minutes.
