Stir Fry Recipe from Hawaiian Airlines In Flight Video

Aloha Everyone! If you have traveled on Hawaiian Airlines recently, you may have seen me shopping for fresh vegetables at the Maui Swap Meet. The Maui Swap Meet has the most awesome fresh fruits and vegetables and I thought this recipe would be a great way for you to share that lovely produce with your friends and family! Enjoy!

CHICKEN AND SHRIMP STIR - FRY

1/2 lb. skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2" strips1 tbsp. finely minced fresh ginger root
1-2 cloves minced garlic2 tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
½ tbsp sesame oil1/2 lb. deveined shelled raw med. size shrimp1 c. cauliflower½ medium onion sliced thin
½ c. sugar snap peas
½ c. sliced zucchini
½ c/ sliced yellow squash
½ c. long beans snapped in half
½ c. red bell pepper sliced into julienne strips
In preheated large skillet or wok, stir-fry chicken, ginger and garlic in 1 tablespoon oil for 2 minutes. Add shrimp and stir-fry 2-3 minutes or until chicken and shrimp are cooked; remove chicken, shrimp, ginger and garlic and set aside. Stir-fry all vegetables in remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and sesame oil about 2-3 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp. Return chicken and shrimp to skillet; heat through.

Serve over steamed jasmine rice that has been infused with lemongrass and sautéed mixed mushrooms.

Deep fried lotus root if available to you makes a lovely garnish.

Yield: Makes 4 – 6 servings

Please feel free to substitute any market fresh vegetables that are available in your area. Please note: it is best to have all vegetables cut to a similar size so that cooking will be even!
