Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups matzo farfel
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 3 stalks scallions, sliced
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup snow peas, trimmed
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 3 tablespoons tamari or Passover-friendly soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
In a medium bowl, lightly beat the egg and pour it into the skillet. Scramble until cooked through, then set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once heated, add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the carrots, snow peas, and scallions to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken and scrambled egg to the skillet and mix with the vegetables.
Add the matzo farfel to the skillet, breaking up any large clumps. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Drizzle tamari (or Passover-friendly soy sauce) and sesame oil over the mixture. Add salt and black pepper, and toss everything until evenly coated.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the matzo farfel is heated through and slightly crisp.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Passover-inspired fusion stir fry!
