Stir Fry Chicken

This is my version, there are millions, and most of them are excellent! Please don’t let the long list of ingredients put you off: you most probably have most of them already, and if don’t, you should! Make sure you buy fair trade spices and rice, if you live in Europe or the US. For gastronomic and scenic effect, serve this with steamed long and wild rice.

What you need (for 2 people):

300 gr. chicken breast
2 cm piece of fresh ginger
1 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cardamom seeds
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 medium peppers
1 medium onion
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon brown sugar
½ glass white wine
coarse salt, pepper grains, olive oil

How you do it:

Pound the spices in a mortar, chop ginger and garlic, add soy sauce and rice vinegar, and marinade the chicken in this mixture for at least an hour. In the meantime, chop the onion and the peppers; ground sesame seeds, brown sugar, coarse salt, pepper corns and mix with olive oil; hit the oily mixture in a capacious wok and stir fry the stripy vegetables. Add the wine and never stop tossing and turning until the peppers loose their crunchiness and the onion liberates all its sweetness.

Take the peppers off the wok, throw in the chicken and stir for a couple of minutes, put the vegetables back in and cook for further 4-5 minutes, and be sure you do keep stirring!
