Chicken Stir Fry

This is a great way to incorporate a load of veggies into a meal. I used leeks, courgette, red pepper and mushroom because that's what was in the fridge but all sorts of veg work well.

Ingredients (serves 2)
1/2 tsp five spice
3 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp mirin
4g grated ginger
1 clove garlic
1 chicken breast, sliced
45g cashew nuts
Veg of your choice, finely sliced

* mix together the soy sauce, mirin, garlic, ginger and 5 spice and pour over the chicken. Leave to marinade for at least 30 minutes
* heat a little oil in a wok and fry the chicken until browned
* add the vegetables and cashews and continue to cook for a few minutes until the veg have softened
* add any remaining marinade towards the end of cooking

I served it with noodles, but rice is good too.

We had roast lamb last night, and there was plenty of meat left. This was a quick way to turn some of the leftovers into dinner.

1/2 onion, sliced
1 carrot, thinly sliced lengthways
3 mushrooms, sliced
50g broccoli florets
Big dollop reggae reggae (or bbq) sauce

* heat a little oil in a pan
* stir fry the veg for a couple of minutes
* Add the meat and sauce.
* cook until the lamb is heated through and the veg is cooked

I had it with some noodles.
