• Stir Fry: Dice chicken (or pork or beef), mushrooms, cabbage, and water chestnuts into 1/4 inch cubes. Keep chicken separate. String and trim peas. Combine diced vegetables, snow peas, bamboo shoots and celery. I often vary my ingredients. I use as alternatives or additions, kale, sun chokes, jicama, or any other ingredient you like.
