B6 Dinner

Vitamin B6 is one of the vitamin B group of essential nutrients. "It's active form, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, serves as a coenzyme in some 100 enzyme reactions in amino acide, glucose, and lipid metabolism".

As we are still in the new year of the dog energies, and I have some water chestnuts and bamboo shoots to eat up. I decided to do a chicken and vegetable stir fry. Water chestnuts are also water soluble and bamboo shoots have plenty of our B vitamins, with the most being B6.

My ingredients

6 large segments of garlic
2 small chicken breast.
2 x 2 piece of ginger sliced
1 small sweet pepper
Bamboo shoots
Water chestnuts
1 tomato
2 small carrots
1 green chili pepper
1 small red onion

Soya sauce
Balsamic vinegar
Sesame oil
Rice bran oil



Water chestnuts marinated in soya sauce, splash of balsamic vinegar with a sweet pepper sliced. (With two of the garlic cloves sliced).

Bamboo shoots marinated in some sesame oil, juice of a whole fresh lemon, carrot cut small, tomato, two cloves of garlic, a green chili pepper, sliced ginger and a red onion.

Chicken cut small cooked in two cloves of garlic with a sprinkle of rock salt and sugar, ( I prefer honey to sugar, today I had make do) cooked in rice bran oil.  When nearly cooked, put the two different vegetables on the top of the chicken, first the bamboo shoots, then the water chestnuts. When you serve the dish you can sprinkle sesame seeds on the top, and cashew nuts if you like them. Sweet chili sauce also goes great with it.
