Sesame Chicken Peppers and Onions Stir Fry

Pin It Now!

Oh Boy... Stir Fry!

Oh Boy... Chinese take out!!

But not just any Chinese stir fry, this is a recipe for the legendary Sesame Chicken.  I've pumped up the seasonings a bit, thickened the sauce for a delicious coating and added some colorful sweet peppers for a complete meal.

Stir fry easy, and fast to make and just as delicious (more so with the extra seasonings) as the take out meal... At home.

You can use this same recipe with a variety of vegetables.  I used what I had in my crisper drawer, but you could easily add Snow Peas, Broccoli, Green Onions... Even swap out the chicken for beef or make a total Vegetarian meal (be sure to change the chicken stock in the gravy to a vegetable stock.  Just a simple quick easy recipe for a delicious take out meal at home!

But first I wanted to share the extra cooking utensils I used to make this dish.  You can certainly make this in about any large skillet you have on hand, but it is much easier when you use a wok.  This is a pre-seasoned cast iron flat bottomed wok.  I have an electric stove, so the flat bottom is vital.  Big enough to handle all these ingredients and just fun to use.  And of course, while Wok cooking is about as simple as it gets, it never hurts to have a reference guide in your library.  This is my favorite go-to idea book.
