I’m still in an outdoor grilling mood, and I’ll probably remain in that mood until November—I mean, after all, what beats the taste of grilled food—but yesterday’s rainy weather convinced me to forget about it until the sun reappeared. Yes, I know lots of people wheel their gas grills into the garage on such days, but I’m not so obsessed with grilling that I would risk burning down the garage in order to have grilled chicken on my plate. Besides, I don’t think outdoor grilling is any fun unless the weather cooperates; otherwise, it seems more like a chore. Who wants to stand outside in the middle of a monsoon, holding an umbrella and flipping burgers while everyone else is inside having a good time? Not me.

 

Anyway, now that I’ve explained what I didn’t do outside yesterday, I’ll tell you about the terrific chicken dish I prepared inside: a tasty chicken stir-fry called, “Spring Onion Chicken” that I came across on the Website, GroupRecipes.com. It’s very easy to prepare and has only a few ingredients, but it was so good. The flavor of the spring onions, ginger, and dark soy sauce are quite apparent in the dish, and the rock sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness and complements the other flavors so well. The author who submitted this recipe, simcooks, has several other delicious non-chicken dishes that I’m anxious to try, including one with scallops and shrimp that looks fantastic. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chicken stir-fry recipe.
