We ate this for dinner last night. Oh, it was yummy. The sauce is what makes it so flavorful. I was out of fresh ginger, so I used the good quality powdered ginger from my spice cupboard.
Wardeh's Ginger Chicken Stir Fry
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 red onion, quartered then sliced
- Assortment of chopped vegetables — green onions, water chestnuts, bell peppers, carrots, cabbage strips
- 4 cups cooked free-range chicken, coarsely chopped
- 2 cups filtered water
- 4 tablespoons arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons powdered ginger
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons tamari, low sodium
- 3 dashes sesame oil
- Cooked brown jasmine or basmati rice
- Garnish: chopped dry roasted cashews or toasted sesame seeds
Saute onions and vegetables in olive oil over medium heat until barely softened. Add chicken. Toss to coat and warm it. Fill 2-cup measuring cup with the water. Add the arrowroot powder, ginger, salt, pepper, soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix well. Pour sauce over chicken and vegetables. When the sauce starts bubbling, turn off heat and cover to let thicken for a few minutes. Serve over brown rice and garnish as desired with cashews or sesame seeds.

Oh MY that sounds very very good. Wardeh, we are going to be making a Family Cookbook as well. Each time you have an idea that we like, or recipe, I tell the girls and they get excited. I think it makes Beka feel closer to Haniya, as well. I love showing them the photos of you all.
Next time we go to Wal-Mart, I think I will pick up a nice binder and some page protectors. Then, I will type up the recipe and place it in my new binder. We do have several recipes already from over the years that I will add. I will also add our juicing recipes that we are coming up with. Two so far have been outstanding. Yesterday we had mango, apple, wheat grass & celery. Today was celery, 1/2 spinach, two types of pears and 4 leaves of dandelion leaves. (The Juiceman said to go slow with things you are not used to, hence the small amount of dandelion leaves.) Both combinations were surprisingly sweet, even though the fruit portion was 1/2 or less. We are juicing entire fruits, minus apple core & seeds and such. He says that one of the healthiest fruits is the ENTIRE cantelope! And also the entire watermelon, seeds, rind and all! Can’t wait to try that one this Summer.
