Garlic Chicken Stir Fry

Recipe by: Teresa Shields 
This super-quick chicken stir-fry has plenty of garlic, ginger, and crunchy vegetables. Toss it with a lightly sweetened soy sauce, and dinner’s ready! To make weeknight stir-fries even easier, make a big batch of brown rice on the weekends.

A classic curry-stand recipe. This is not haute cuisine; this is the kind of nuclear-orange tikka masala that you crave when you stumble out of a pub at 2 a.m. I make vast quantities of the sauce at one time, and it freezes very well.
