This week I had some trouble deciding what exactly I wanted to cook. I was bouncing between two different meals but decided on this one! This weeks meal was a chicken stir fry! I was pretty excited to try this out, although I’ve had something similar to it before, I’ve never made it myself. I was a little nervous though because it was my first time cooking with chicken, alone and I did not want to under cook it because, well, you know what would happen. Thankfully all turned out well!
For my stir fry I didn’t go off a recipe, I just googled to get some inspiration and ideas for my own. So there is no exact ingredients for this one, however, if you want to know how to make it just a quick google search will do! It is super easy!!
In my stir fry I added chicken, roasted bell peppers (which I just cooked on the stove top), and rice. I also added a honey garlic sauce on my chicken for more flavour. I had to add a little more afterwards though because you could hardly taste it.. oops!! I know there’s not a whole lot of veggies in there, but this is how my family liked it. And one thing I like about this dish is that it is completely up to you for what you want to include in it! So add more veggies, or less or more protein. Do whatever you like to do! This dish can be so creative, there are no right or wrong ways.
This cooking thing is becoming a little stressful and it is only the second week.. haha. Overall I had fun making this meal and would definitely make it again. It was a huge hit!

Melina,
Your chicken stir fry looks so good! It is only 10am and now i am craving it, haha! Just a thought for next time, would you be able to post the sites where you got your information from? I would love to be able to learn alongside you! It looks like you are doing a great job learning this skill. Keep up the good work.

Hey Melina,
Your stir-fry looks really good! I also chose cooking for my learning project and I did a chicken stir-fry last week. I found a great YouTuber that goes by the name of Pro Home Cooks, and I have been learning a lot from him. I have been having a lot of fun in the kitchen, and I think being able to cook good meals is one of the most important skills a person can have. What are you planning on making next?
Good luck with the rest of your project!

Hi Branden, thanks for your comment! I will definitely have to give that YouTuber a try, thanks for mentioning it! As for my next meal I’m thinking homemade pizza.. but it all depends on what I’m feeling!

Hey Meilina,
Your stir-fry looks very tastey, always one of my favorite dishes. I like how you added honey garlic to the chicken as it is one of my favorite sauces. I’ll have to try that with my stir-fry, I’m sure it would taste great. I almost chose cooking as my learning project but went with painting instead so I always like following people who went with cooking. I look forward to seeing whats next.
Thanks, Jesse
