Stir Fried Chicken

In stir frying chicken, it is known as the simplest and the fastest way to prepare dinner since most of its ingredients are available all the time in your refrigerators.  Left-over vegetables can easily be prepared with chicken as its protein all the time.  It is just a matter of having the right combination of ingredients to create that stir fry sauces that enhances its flavors.  So make yourself a good stir fried chicken tonight.  This chicken stir fried recipe has been with the family’s menu ever since we were children.  Mom used to cook this on Thursday as a change from the all pork and beefy nights.  We have enjoyed this recipe for several years and hope you enjoy them too.  It is very simple to prepare and we believe you can easily duplicate its simple preparation and come out with that flavorful chicken dish on your table.  

Mom’s secret to this dish is preparing the sauce and tasting it before it is used to make sure she has the right taste we wanted through the years.  Because this was prepared repeatedly in our home, she had all the remarks she needed to perfectly combine the sauce we wanted.  Try this and perhaps it will work just fine for your family too.  Be careful on using saltiness too much, because we have several occasions when this dish was salty and had to adjust the dish before we can dine.   That was a revealing night but everyone was happy to get the right taste they wanted in the house.
