Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 1 (8-ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can whole straw mushrooms, drained
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into strips
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt (with parsley flakes)

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Stir in the fresh mushrooms, broccoli, water chestnuts, snow peas, and straw mushrooms.
  • Cook and stir veggies for about 5 minutes. Remove veggies from the wok, and set aside. Clean off the wok/skillet.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil in the wok until it begins to smoke. Stir in the garlic, and cook for a few seconds until it turns golden brown. Add the chicken, and cook for about 5 minutes or until there is no pink in the center of the chicken.
  • In a small bowl, stir cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chicken broth. Pour over the chicken, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for about 30 seconds until the sauce thickens and is no longer cloudy. 
  • Return the vegetables to the wok/skillet, and toss with the sauce until all coated. Serve immediately and ENJOY!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for 2-3 months. For best results, reheat in a skillet with a little olive oil, or use the microwave.
