Orange Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry

I’ve been itching to make a stir-fry for weeks.

I love them because they are so flavorful. And easy. And quick. And make your house smell like your favorite Chinese dive.

(As long as you get the rice cooking in time. Or you make with noodles that cook in just a few minutes.)

This was a “one-dish dinner” for us because I used leftover rice. Last week I made a double batch of “red rice” (cooks just like brown rice) that I found in the pantry and wanted to use it. What I had left was too much for one meal, so I just cooked it all and saved the rest for the next night’s stir-fry.

Either way…quick and easy. And tasty too!
