My mom made this stir-fry for us a lot when I was growing up. The original name was Chinatown Almond Chicken. It is quick and easy and you can use any meats or veggies that you have on hand. I like using fresh ginger and adding garlic powder and crushed red pepper flakes.
It is a great way to get your kids to eat veggies because the stir-fry glaze completely coats and disguises the veggies.
Ingredients
1 tsp ginger (I like using fresh minced ginger.)
1 tsp garlic powder, to taste
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
2 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
3 Tbsp water
3 Tbsp soy sauce
1/3 cup dry white wine
Mix all of the ingredients and place over medium-high heat. When the sauce thickens, add bite-sized chunks of cooked meats and vegetables and toss until warm. Serve over steamed white or brown rice.
