Chicken Stir Fry

Stir Fry
This delicious stir-fry dish is not only healthy, it is quick and easy to prepare – and it’s cheap!  
 
 The tender and crisp vegetables retain more nutrients than if they had been boiled, and the fat content is extremely low as the dish only requires a small amount of oil. I used Frylight Olive Oil Spray, 190 ml cooking spray  as it only contains one calorie per spray.
 
Stir-frying is a Chinese cooking technique in which ingredients are fried in a small amount of very hot oil while being stirred in a wok
 
The technique originated in China and in recent centuries has spread into other parts of Asia and the West (www.en.m.wikipedia.org – stir frying).
 
The term “stir-fry” was introduced into the English language in Buwei Yang Cheo’s book’How to Cook and Eat in Chinese’ (1945) to describe the chao technique. Chao being the modern word for stir-fry.
