Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. of coconut oil
- 2 cloves of garlic (thinly sliced)
- 1 inch ginger (finely grated)
- 2-3 green (spring) onions (sliced into long slivers)
- 1 carrot (coarsely grated)
- 1 green pepper (sliced into thin, long pieces)
- 1 chicken breast (cut against the grain into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 heaping tsp. arrowroot powder
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp. homemade bone broth
- 1 tbsp. organic, gluten-free soy sauce
- A few drops of toasted sesame oil
Preparation
Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp. coconut oil in a wok or large pan.
Add the sliced garlic and grated ginger to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Add the green onion and stir-fry 1 more minute.
Add the carrot and stir-fry about a minute. You want it just barely cooked, not limp and soggy. Remove the vegetable mixture to a bowl and set aside.
Add another 2/3 tbsp. of coconut oil to the wok.
When the oil is very hot, add the green pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute.
Add just a few drops of soy sauce, reduce the heat and cover for a minute or two, stirring occasionally. This is just to make sure the green peppers soften enough. It’s ready when it is a bit soft but still has some crunch. Add them to the other veggies and set aside.
Heat a ½ tbsp. of coconut oil, then add the pieces of chicken breast and stir-fry. I found that the chicken got some color from the previous ingredients that were in the wok. If this doesn’t happen, add a tiny amount of soy sauce. Stir-fry until just done and no more. To check, I like to cut open the biggest piece to make sure it isn’t pink in the middle.
While stir-frying the chicken, mix 1 tsp. of arrowroot in ¼ cup of cold water.
Add all the ingredients back into the wok and mix. (
Add the broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the middle of the wok (on medium heat) and stir.
Give the arrowroot and water a stir to make sure it’s well mixed, then add it to the sauce ingredients and stir. You’ll immediately see it thicken – like magic! When it’s at the thickness you like, push the vegetables and chicken back into the middle. Add the noodles and mix to coat with the sauce. That’s it! You’re done.
