Scallion And Ginger Chicken Stir Fry
Arriving home late (again) i needed something that was quick, simple yet full of satisfying flavors. this recipe modified from another site did the trick. When i made this i added two medium zucchini, halved and sliced, and cooked them just after the chicken and before the sauce. Made this a complete meal.
