So last week I made something with chicken (surprise!) This is one of those recipe’s that isn’t too difficult and if you have all of the ingredients, pretty quick to make. I found it on allrecipes.com. I’m not sure how long ago, but definitely since we’ve lived here in WA.
The ingredients are pretty standard.
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger root
- 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves – cut into 1/2 inch strips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
One thing I’ve learned – fresh ginger and garlic are better and it’s not necessary to include the hot sauce. But…. your husband might add his own sriracha later.
For full directions, please click on the link to allrecipies above. I can say though, that you simply mix all of the ingredients together into a sauce, add them to the cooked chicken and let it thicken.
Now… for the fail part of this post. 😦 I usually serve this meal over rice. I always double the amount of rice that I make, simply because it’s good for leftovers, etc. Well, I didn’t cook it long enough. We usually use Jasmine rice and it just ended up really watery. 😦 I also didn’t read through many of the reviews of this recipe to see where almost every review says to dredge the chicken in flour first. You don’t really get the sticky part of this recipe if you don’t. So, I’ll try that next time.
All in all, it’s a great recipe, but I will definitely try some things differently next time.
I know… my presentation is lacking. Maybe I need to get some more colorful plates?
