Chicken or Beef Stir Fry!

Your choice of meat:  Lean beef or chicken breast (also taste good without any meat with only veggies) 


1 Tbl Olive oil  (add more if needed)
2 Large Carrots sliced in circles or slivers (your preference) 
1 small red onion (diced) 
1/2 - 1 cup bell peppers (any color) 
2 Stalks of celery cubed
Sliced cabbage (optional depending on your likes) 
2 Cloves garlic (small pieces)
1 cup broccoli 
Water chest nuts add a nice crunch as well if you like them

After preparing the veggies turn the wok or stove to medium heat place the oil in the bottom (if using meat place the meat in first and cook until almost done) then add all veggie except broccoli. 


Cook for several minuets over medium heat until tender, then add your broccoli for the last 2 minuets or so


If you like add 1/4 hunan/stir fry sauce (lower sodium is available)

Serve over brown rice  prepared according to their instructions and add some lower sodium stir fry or soy sauce.  

Can also be served with the peanut sauce which can be found on the rice wraps recipe in an earlier posting.
