subscribeA Soy Good Dinner
July 9th, 2008
Ant & I made this last night.
And it was sooo good. It’s the second time we’ve made it in the past week, that’s how good it is. This is Ginger Soy Chicken & it’s a Rachael Ray recipe, so goodness knows it was quick & easy to whip up. Here’s the recipe (serves 4):
Ginger Soy Chicken on Shredded Lettuce
3 T. vegetable oil
1 1/4 lb. chicken breast, cut into thin strips
salt & course black pepper
2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled & minced
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes
6 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths, then cut lengthwise into thin matchsticks
1/4 c. tamari
3 T. honey
1 head of iceberg lettuce, core removed, shredded
(We added a thinly sliced carrot as well.)
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the vegetable oil, then the chicken & season with a little salt & a lot of black pepper. Stir-fry for a minute to sear the edges of the meat, then throw in the ginger, garlic, & red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes more. Add the scallions (& carrots) & stir-fry for another minute. Add the tamari & honey to form a sauce & glaze the chicken. Remove the pan from heat. Cover plates with a heaping pile of shredded lettuce, top with the chicken & savory sauce, & eat eat EAT.
-I love me a shot of honey-
The recipe is from Rachael Ray’s cookbook, 365: No Repeats (although we were happy to ingest a repeat flavor so soon). I love that no rice or side dish was necessary to make the meal feel complete. The sauce drizzles all over the shredded lettuce, which makes you eat every bit on your plate. Filling & healthy & very delicious.
