Pacific Rim Stir Fry

Another meal for Eric that I did not eat.  My best friend said she would have a hard time making anything for someone if it was something she didn't like... but when you refuse to eat from an entire continent... you start to feel guilty that you don't make those foods for your husband ever.  Regardless, he enjoyed this and it fed him for two dinners and one lunch.


2 c uncooked brown rice
1lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size strips
1/2 c chicken broth
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp orange juice
2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp EVOO
1 small yellow onion, cut into thin strips
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 c carrots, cut into short strips
2 c broccoli florets
1 yellow sweet pepper, cut into strips

Cook brown rice according to directions and set aside.  Combine broth, soy sauce, orange juice, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl and set aside.  Pour cooking oil into wok pan over medium high heat.  Cook 2-3 minutes.  Add broccoli, sweet peppers, and onion.  Cook 2-3 minutes.  Add garlic and cook additional minute.  Add more oil if necessary.  Remove vegetables from wok and set aside.  Add chicken to wok.  Cook and stir until no longer pink. Push chicken away from center of the wok.  Stir sauce ingredient and add to center of wok.  Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.  Return vegetables to wok.  Cook until heated through.  Serve with rice.
