Chicken & Peppers Stir-Fry with Gingko Nuts
Another quick stir-fry that makes an excellent one-dish meal when scooped over white rice, on busy work nights. The key to a good stir-fry is to keep the fire on high, so the food cooks really fast and gets imbued with that smoky aroma. Just be sure that your kitchen is well-aerated, coz the resultant fumes can get a little stifling.
