Hope everyone had a great weekend! Despite the dreadful weather in New Orleans Friday night (cold + rain), Cory and I attended our friends’ wedding.
It was a night filled with friends, fun, and lots of dancing… Congrats Dustin and Shannon 
My Saturday was spent holiday shopping with my mother. I still have quite a bit of shopping ahead of me!
Sunday was a day of rest! Stayed in my PJs most of the day, hibernating and enjoying some football. The Saints made an amazing comeback!!! After the game, I squeezed in a 30 minute weight training session with my “home gym“.
On to the food…
After my version of ginger beef stir-fry turned out so well, I decided to try something similar with chicken. I was running a little short on time when I was preparing this dish so I simplified the steps and substituted couscous for rice… couscous takes only minutes to prepare!
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic, minced
- 1/2 Tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 1/2 cup Onion, diced
- 1 large Red Bell Pepper, chopped
- 1 large Yellow Bell Pepper, chopped
- Chicken Breast Tenderloins, chopped
Directions
First combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, and cornstarch. Whisk until mixed and set aside.
Next, heat olive oil on medium-high in large nonstick skillet or Wok. Add garlic, ginger, and onion; stir-fry 1-2 minutes. Add chicken and marinade; cook about 3-4 minutes. Add sesame oil and bell peppers; stir-fry ~4-5 minutes.
Serve over couscous.
Delicious!!! Stir-fry over couscous is fabulous. Well… anything over couscous is fabulous.
Have you tried couscous yet? What is your favorite dish involving couscous?

I still have that box of couscous that we got from whole foods, I know I need to try it. Where do you get minced Ginger at? I don’ think I have ever cooked with that.
I bought a piece of ginger root from the grocery and then peeled and minced it at home.
Sounds like you had a nice weekend!
Your stir-fry sounds great! I love anything with ginger… I usually use couscous in vegetable salads; I’ll have to use it as a bed for stir-fry!
Hope you had a great Monday, and have a great week!
