What You Need
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk eggs with 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the milk; set aside. Whisk cornstarch, soy sauce and hot pepper sauce into remaining milk; set aside.
In a large skillet, melt half of the butter over medium-high heat; cook egg mixture for about 1 min or just until eggs are no longer shiny. Stir to break up egg and transfer to a plate.
Add remaining butter to pan; add chicken and stir-fry for 2 min or until chicken starts to brown. Add vegetables and stir-fry for about 2 min or until hot. Stir milk mixture and pour into pan; cook, stirring, for about 3 min or until sauce is thickened and chicken is no longer pink inside. Stir in vinegar and bean sprouts; stir-fry until sprouts are wilted. Season to taste with more soy sauce and hot pepper sauce, if desired. Gently stir in eggs.
Tips
Cooking Tip: Use naturally-brewed soy sauce for the best flavour and colour.
Replace chicken with thin strips of boneless grilling beef or pork loin.
For the Adventurous: Replace chicken with large shrimp, peeled and deveined; stir-fry for only 30 sec before adding vegetables. Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) hoisin sauce with soy sauce and 2 cups (500 mL) shredded bok choy or napa cabbage with bean sprouts.
