Stir Fry in Peanut Sauce

This is a really easy and quick recipe for a delicious meal, though kinda on the fattening side. It is also something you need to play around with on the amount of peanut butter you use as the peanut taste can be overwhelming. Using natural and low fat peanut butter can reduce the amount of calories and fat and make it a little more healthy. 

Ingredients: 


1 package of diced Quorn chicken or a package of firm tofu
1 package of stir fry mix (frozen or fresh). I wouldn't use one with mushrooms in it as it doesn't taste well with peanuts. Also add broccoli if it isn't in your mix. The broccoli with the peanut is the best!
120 ml or hot water
120 grams of peanut butter
1 tablespoon of vinegar
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons of peanut oil (add as needed)

Directions:

In a large skillet, heat peanut oil. Brown quorn (or chicken or tofu). Add in stir fry veggies. Heat all the way through chicken and veggies until good and warm.
In a bowl, combine water, peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce and cayenne pepper until mixed well.
Pour sauce over chicken and veggies and simmer about 20 minutes until hot.

Serve with:

It's really good with egg noodles or fried rice. I get the Uncle Ben's microwave fried rice. It cost about a pound and heats in two minutes. And spring rolls with sweet chili sauce.
