Garlic Chicken Stir Fry and Rice

I really love stir fried foods. I tried a new vegetable sauce recipe for this one. I' still looking for that delicious sauce that I can't get enough of. This wasn't it but it wasn't bad either. Sweeter than I wanted is what I didn't care for the most. 


I had all of these veggies left over from a veggie tray so it was quite perfect for preparing. This is the recipe i used: Garlic Chicken Stir Fry

I cooked the chicken in the wok first with flavored wok oil, garlic, green onions, and ginger. 


I wasn't sure if everything would fit together in the wok so I took out the chicken and dumped in the veggies next. 
Go ahead an let those get soft for a little bit and then add the sauce. Put the lid on the help steam the veggies and let the sauce get good and thick. The chicken did fit so I put it back in when I added the sauce so it could get that nice flavor. 

Now, I don't know how many of you shop at Sam's but it is like a candy store for me! So much food and fun things to try. They have this stir fried rice in a box that you just put in the skillet still frozen and it takes about 7-11 minutes to cook. (This is the rice on the Sam's website.) It is sooo tasty!  It has bacon in it (which as we know, makes almost anything better) with soy beans, egg, carrots, and a sticky sauce. My family loves it! Makes stir fried rice the cheater way but man... for being a pre-made food it really is yummy. 




The instructions say to stir it constantly while cooking but if you cook it more like shoe string hash browns and let it get crispy on the bottom and then do a little "flip", I think it tastes much more like the real thing and gives it a better texture. 


It was a pretty tasty meal but I really want a Chinese sauce for my stir fry that is like one of those rich brown salty sauces that tastes like it has been being prepared all day. With a full range of depth and flavors. I'll find one some day!!
