Stir Fry Veggies with Dinner!

Daily Tidbit:  By now you probably have heard about how great drinking tea is for your health, but hopefully you have also heard some of the newly emerging research that shows many benefits to the daily cup of Joe!  I love coffee - 2 cups a day is perfect for me - so I'm always happy reading about another wonderful thing that coffee can do. It can help your memory, curb depression, and may help prevent Alzheimer's!

Sesame Chicken Stir Fry topped with Peanuts!

Dinner:  Sesame Chicken Stir Fry Stir Fry made with:  1 tbsp Canola Oil & chopped veggies:  2 Zucchini, 1/2 Red Pepper, 1 Yellow Pepper, 1 cup of Baby Carrots, 1/4 Red Onion.  Added 2 Chicken Breast Tenders & 1 cup of Beans (mixture of Pinto & Kidney).

Recipe for sauce:   In a bowl mix 1 tbsp of each: sesame oil, brown sugar, corn starch and then ½ cup soy sauce and a 1/2 cup chicken broth.  Add to pan and simmer until thickened.  Serve.

Topped plate with 1 tbsp of dry roasted, lightly salted Peanuts

White Wine

Note:  I made this quickly and forgot to add the Garlic Ginger paste that I typically use to make this dish - big difference in the final product.  It is amazing how a little Garlic and Ginger can make such a big impact!   Well it was still good, but not the same and not as good!  If you make this, do yourself a favor and be sure to first saute some chopped Garlic and Ginger in the oil before adding the Veggies.  And also some Red Pepper Flake if you want the heat!  Fresh chopped Scallions are also a nice cool and crispy addition before serving.
