Easiest Stir-Fry Ever

Looking for a “Stir-Fry for Dummies”? Here you go! Absolutely no chopping and no sauce making. Make it with or without chicken.

Hands-on - 30 min.
Serves 6.

Ingredients

 

Uncle Ben's whole-grain instant brown rice, dry

3/4 cup

water

1 1/2 cups

onion

1 small

skinless, boneless chicken breasts (optional)*

3 (4 oz each)

oil (canola or sesame)

1 T

frozen mixed stir-fry vegetables

2 bags (16 oz each)

La Choy sweet & sour sauce

1 jar (10 oz)

slivered almonds or chopped walnuts or cashews

1/2 cup

Directions

  • Place rice and water in a medium nonstick saucepan.
  • Cover, bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium-low. Set timer for 5 minutes.
  • When timer sounds, remove from heat and allow to sit, covered.
  • Cut onion into wedges and chicken into strips.
  • Heat oil in a nonstick wok over medium-high heat. Add onion and chicken.
  • Stir-fry until chicken is browned.
  • Add vegetables to wok (no need to thaw). 
  • Cook 11 to 13 minutes to desired tenderness. It's ready when the water from the vegetables evaporates.
  • Stir in sweet & sour sauce and nuts. 
  • Let cook 2 more minutes, then serve over brown rice.

*As another option, 12 oz. extra-firm tofu cut into strips works great instead of chicken.
