This spicy chicken stir fry uses hot chili sauce and includes tomato among other vegetables for a juicy, satisfying meal.
I love stir-fry! Combining flavors and colors in one dish is very appealing. I also enjoy the combination of vegetables and meat. Add a side of white rice and you are good to go.
Although tomatoes are not common in traditional Chinese stir fries, I like to add them from time to time to achieve a saucier stir fry without adding water. Besides, the red hues in colorful tomatoes make great contrast against the green broccoli. Your eyes will thank you :-).
Vegetarians: substitute chicken with tofu, adding the soy sauce in the beginning and the salt with the vegetables.
