Plate of Soy-Ginger Marinated Chicken Stir-Fry served over Forbidden Rice

I came up with this marinade as a way to use up some of the chicken that I had in the freezer.

It used ingredients that I almost always have on hand.

I used up some of the veggies and water chestnuts that I had in the house to bulk it up a bit and served it over forbidden rice that I cooked in the rice cooker.

It had a lot of flavor and we really liked it, but I definitely unintentionally overcooked it.

The color of the peas made me sad, and the chicken was a little dried out. Dang!

Ah well, it was good, but definitely not a stand-out in this house.
