Brown rice stir fry

Awesome tasting healthy dinner for you to try. It will give you great energy and protein for those of you who need it. Great after workouts. Its great for getting the "full satisfied" feeling after you eat instead of leaving you thinking what can I have next. 

So tonight for dinner I made basically a stir fry again. Simple ingredients. I had some left over veg in the fridge that I used. 

Ingredients 

1 Sweet Red Pepper (Chopped)
3 Spring Onions (Chopped)
1 Carrot (Chopped)
2 Chicken Breast
1-2 Cups of Organic Brown Rice
Tamari Sauce

First I diced a sweet pepper, spring onion and a carrot. Then I again filleted a chicken breast which I then cut into small cubes. Once done with that I put a cup of organic brown rice in a pain (First rinse). Put water about an inch above the rice. Bring that to a boil and let simmer for 20 mins. When there is about 5-10 mins left on the rice put about a tbs of oil in a wok/deep frying pan on high heat. Then add the chicken, cook for about 2-3 mins then add the veg, again 2-3 mins. I then added some Tamari sauce instead of Soy sauce. I like the flavor of Tamari better. By the time this is all cooked your rice will be done. Drain the rice. What I did at this point is throw the rice in with the mix, add a bit more Tamari and done. 

Again Simple dinner takes about 30 mins to make. 





End Result Serves 4-6

Easy Chow Mein


Hey guys so this is my Easy Chow Mein I made for lunch. Basically left overs veg and some chow mein sauce. 

Ingredients

2 Chicken Breast
1 tbsp oil
1 Red Bell Pepper
1/2 Red Onion 
1 Packet of Chow Mein Sauce

What I did was. Diced a pepper and half a red onion. Fillet a chicken breast and cut it into small cubes. Took a tbs of oil put it in a wok/deep frying pan on high heat. Once that became hot enough I put in the chicken. Chicken cooked for about 2-3mins. Then added the veg for another 2-3 mins. Then add the chow mein sauce for another 1-2 mins.

Before the veg and chicken start cooking I turned on and heated a pot of water. Once boiling I turned off the heat and add egg noodles or chow mein noodles. Let it sit in the hot water for about 5mins. 

By this point everything will be done around the same time. Drain the noodles. I then added them to my chicken and veg and mixed it all. 

Simple healthy lunch. Cheaper and taste better then getting it from a Chinese restaurant  in my opinion. 

End result.
