Ginger Chicken Stir Fry
Ginger Stir Fry Recipe:
Rice
2 Cups (uncooked) White Rice
3.5 Cups Water
Meat
1 Tbsp Sesame Oil (Coconut Oil for Paleo)
3 Chicken Breasts, thinly sliced
Sauce
2/3 cups Soy Sauce (low-sodium)
¼ cup Brown Sugar (not ideal for paleo… tasty without it)
1 Tsp Cornstarch (sub. Rice Flour for paleo)
1 Tbsp minced fresh Ginger
1 Tbsp minced Garlic
¼ tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
Veggies
1 Tbsp Sesame Oil (Coconut Oil for Paleo)
2 Onions
2 Bell Peppers
A bunch of Pea Pods
Container of Portabella Mushrooms
4 Carrots (peeled and cut)
Others: Baby Corn, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, broccoli.
1) Slice Chicken (Easier when still semi-frozen).
2) Cook Rice. It’s always different depending on your rice-maker or pot, but generally simmer rice for 20-25 minutes in about twice as much water.
2) While Rice is cooking, make Sauce, mix well with fork (especially with rice flour, which doesn’t mix well).
3) Pour sauce on chicken as marinade, let sit for 15 minutes while you…
3) Heat Oil in pan, then throw in sliced vegetables. Cook until mostly soft.
4) Remove chicken from marinade, reserving liquid. Heat 1 Tbsp of Oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken until slightly pink on the inside (4 minutes). Pour in vegetables and reserved marinade to skillet. Bring to a boil, cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are tender (5-7 minutes).
5) Serve over Rice!!
Pork & Kraut (not a ton of veggies but kraut & taters make a good filler):

(Sub chicken broth instead of water... and I usually double the recipe).
I have a vegetable soup recipe but can't find/remember it.
Now that I think about it, it's more about adding vegetables wherever you can. Sometimes it's in the recipe. Sometimes it's just hammering down a bunch of cucumbers & tomatoes with salt & pepper on them... some times it's a huge salad. If you're only eating once or twice a day, and one of those meals is very heavy on vegetables and you go with healthy meats and good seasonings/sauces, you really can't go wrong.
