Susanne's Notes:

I have used pork loin, beef tenderloin and rotisserie chicken in this recipe. Tofu would be an acceptable vegetarian alternative. All are acceptable substitutes.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

Quick and easy to make, this is the perfect home-cooked, go-to meal after a long day.

Directions

Cut veggies into bite size pieces of the same approximate size. Mince the garlic.

Cube chicken. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in large saute pan(or olive oil if preferred). Saute diced chicken until cooked through. Set cooked chicken aside.

Heat remaining tbsp sesame oil in same pan. Saute veggies over medium heat in this order giving each a minute or two to soften before adding the next veggie...onion, broccoli florets, green pepper, garlic cloves, bean sprouts. Once veggies are nearly cooked through, add chicken back into original pan with veggies. Add Classic Stir Fry sauce to taste. At this point, you can add red pepper flakes to taste which my husband and I really enjoy. When I make this dish for the children, I leave out the heat.

Cook white rice according to directions and serve chicken/veggies over rice. A dash of soy sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds (toasted if you like) and you've got chinese take out at home!

sounds awesome !! is there really a big difference in using the sesame oil , say instead of veg. or olive oil ? I've found the sesame oil to be quite costly.

I have made stir-fry for many years following my own recipe very similar to this one. A fun variation from the rice would be to use pasta that is almost always leftover after having spaghetti...and my husband has recently found that ramen noodles work well too. I suggest "frying" the pasta in a pan for a moment or or two before adding other ingredients. Any kind of oil will be okay to use.

Yes!! The sesame seed oil has a smokey(?) nutty flavor. It is more like a seasoning. Once you taste it you will never be without it! It is a great flavor to add to fried rice and stir fries. You only use a very small amount and it lasts along time for the price. You CAN do it without the the flavor will be quite different!
