So In my immense free time I have been doing a lot of cooking and experimenting with food. I havnt been overly succesful in my tries, but I made a dish recently that is sooo yummy delicious I wanted to share it with everyone.
This should serve 1 to 2 people depending on how much you eat.
Ingrediants:
1 yellow bell pepper
1 block of tofu, or a chicken breast or thigh or whatever, or tofu chicken( I have used tofu and tofu chicken for this recipe, but chicken will work just as well for you meat eaters. They have an amazing selection of fake meats here that are very realistic)
1 large handfull of fresh basil
3 large slices of garlic( you know how a clove breaks into slices, thats what I mean)
2 tsps of sugar
1 dash of salt
1/2 cup of mushrooms
enouch oil to cover the bottom of your wok
brown rice
Directions:
Put 1tsp of sugar a half a handful of the basil and the garlic diced into the oil. Stir fry for about half a minute. If you are using tofu drop the block in the oil and stir fry until it is golden brown. If you have never cooked with tofu before be careful as it burns easily. Then take it out and slice it into cubes. If you slice it into cupes before hand I find they generally crumble and it isnt as pretty. The tofu will take on the flavor of the rest. If you are using chicken you can just leave it in there until finished. Then put in your mushrooms and diced yellow pepper and stir fry until cooked. Then add the rest of the basil, salt, and sugar. Dont cook the remaining basil for too long as you want it kind of leafy. Then take everything and mix it up and put it over brown rice(as thats healthier than white). Make sure you taste this before you are finished because you may want to add more salt or sugar. If you are worried about sugar content only put one tsp of sugar in at the end and taste it before to see if you need to put anymore in. If you need more flavoring sprinkle garlic salt over the top when finished. Enjoy!
