Directions
RICE:
  • Prepare the rice before starting the stir-fry process, so that it's ready to serve
    once the stir-fry is finished.
SAUCE:
  • Combine all of the sauce ingredients and
    mix until the cornstarch is dissolved. Set the sauce aside.
STIR-FRY:
  • Important:
    Prepare and pre-measure all of the ingredients before starting the stir-frying process. Make sure
    all the ingredients are within reach when you begin stir-frying.
  • Combine the chicken, egg white,
    soy sauce, and cornstarch in a bowl and stir until mixed thoroughly.
  • In the wok or skillet,
    heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  • When oil is properly heated, add the chicken mixture. Cook, stirring continually, until the
    chicken is no longer pink.
  • Remove chicken from the wok or skillet and set aside. Drain the
    remaining oil except for two tablespoons.
  • Add the ginger and garlic and cook on medium-high
    heat for approximately one minute.
  • Increase the heat to high and add the carrots and peppers,
    stir-frying for two minutes.
  • Stir the sauce that was set aside and add it to the carrots and
    peppers. Stir continually until the sauce comes to a boil.
  • Add the chicken and the remaining
    ingredients. Cook just until heated all the way through. Serve immediately atop a bed of rice.
