Apricot Oriental Stir Fry | Culianry Cool
 This recipe is kind of like a coming-of-age story for me.  I used to be the kind of girl that would buy the bottled Teriyaki stir fry sauce.  It was quick and easy, which was perfect for me when I was in University.  But I’ve grown up now (or so I like to think), so it’s time for a grown up stir fry recipe.  Although, let it be known, that if Edo sold bottles of their Teriyaki sauce, I would buy it by the case load.
And then I found this recipe.  No more bottled sauce for this girl! This sauce is delicious and super easy to make.  I have it completely memorized, and I usually don’t even need to measure it anymore. It’s just the right amount of sauciness, where it adds tremendous flavour, but it’s not drowning your veggies.

 The thing I love about stir fry, is that you can always change up the veggies you use.  This time around, I used whatever was in the fridge.  But I love to add water chestnuts and snow peas.  I usually serve brown rice along with stir fry, but shanghai noodles are always a welcomed change.  I usually have leftovers as well, as this recipe is enough for 2 people.  So I take it to work, and make a stir fry wrap for lunch.  I just heat the stir fry in the microwave, and wrap it in a whole wheat tortilla.

1 tbsp Sesame oil
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1/2 snow peas
1/2 water chestnuts

Add peppers, peas, chestnuts and onions (or any other vegetable your using).  Cook for a few more minutes, then add sauce.  Cook and stir until sauce is bubbly and has thickened.
