Turmeric Chicken Stir Fry

Serves 2

Storage:  Best cooked and eaten fresh

Ingredients: 

• Chicken marinade:
• 250g skinless chicken breast
• 2 tsp turmeric
• 1 thumb of ginger (4g) finely grated
• 1 large clove of garlic, finely grated

Stir fry:

• 2 liquid tbsp (24g) coconut oil
• 1 small onion (60g)
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 thumb of ginger  (4g), finely grated
• 100g baby corn, sliced in half
• 100g mange-tout
• 1 red pepper, sliced
• 1 tbsp (18g) soy

Methods:

Mix the turmeric, ginger and garlic together. Dice the chicken then place in a dish.  Coat the chicken in the marinade, cover and leave for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.

When the chicken has finished marinating, heat the oil in a large pan or wok and slice the onion and garlic.  Once the oil is hot, fry chicken for about 4 minutes until golden before adding the onion and garlic.  Fry until just soft, then grate in the ginger.

Add the corn and mange-tout along with the soy and allow to cook until the vegetables are tender.
