  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce for marinating chicken
  • 1 teaspoon expeller pressed canola oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced

  2. Marinate diced chicken breast in 2 teaspoons of soy sauce while preparing the rest of the ingredients.

  6. Add carrots and stir-fry 1 minute.

  8. Add water chestnuts, green onions, shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.
  9. Serve family-style so each person can fill lettuce cups to their liking with extra hoisin sauce if desired.

This recipe was on one of the 7 grain boxes, I made it, and sure enough it was a hit except that I didn’t use hoisin beccause it’s spicy for my hubby, so i just used bragg’s all natural amino acid and a few drops of toasted sesame oil. Totally delish~!

There is a website for Braggs. If you google searh Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar with Mother it should come up. On that website you can buy the amino acids.

You can buy the Braggs amino acid in the health food section of most food stores or your natural health food stores for sure.

The recipe looks scrumptious. I will try it. Also I wonder if it would work with tofu instead of chicken.
