1
Juicer
2
Shallow bowls
1
Large stove top wok
1
Large cooking spoon

1

1

Directions:
1              Clean your chicken and then slice it into medallions or strips (your preference)               
2              Juice your ginger until you have approx. 4-6 ounces
3              Mix approx 6 oz. of ginger with 8 oz. of teriyaki sauce in bowl and place sliced chicken in the ginger/teriyaki marinade for approx. 1-2 hours. Make certain to use eating fork to tenderize sliced chicken
4              Slice onions, carrots, and peppers into long slices and a medium thickness
5              Place carrots in 2+ cups of warm water while chicken is marinating. You will save and use this carrot sweetened water for the rice
6              Slice broccoli crowns into smaller more manageable pieces.
7              Heat your large wok on the stove top and cover bottom of wok with olive oil 1/8 inch
8              Keeping heat high place marinated chicken slices in wok and sear both sides. Do not cover wok!
9              Let chicken cook until done without covering wok, and constantly shifting chicken to insure thorough cooking and prevent burning.
10            Remove chicken and reduce the heat a little. Pour in additional olive oil and allow to heat
11            Place sliced broccoli and carrots in first and allow them to cook until texture softens a little. (maybe 2-3 minutes)
12            Place remaining sliced vegetables in the wok with the carrots and broccoli and allow to soften some while constantly stirring.
13            Pour ½ cup of teriyaki sauce (not the marinade) and sprinkle liberally with ginger, and garlic powder
14            Allow to cook for 10-12 minutes constantly stirring and do not cover so you may keep vegetables crisp.
15            Mix in the cook chicken
16            Cook rice and serve with stir fry

Prep time is about 90 minutes but every bite makes the time worth it.

I hope you enjoy this recipe and please notice there is No Sodium. It is not needed as the flavor from the teriyaki and ginger, peppers, onions and carrots are quite enough flavor. The mix of the pungent ginger and aromatic teriyaki will carry your taste buds away on a culinary adventure. Enjoy and let me know how you like it. Send some recipes and I will post them here crediting your culinary style. Have a great weekend
