G E NE RAL TSO'S
CHICKEN the Healthy way with Brown Rice, Broccoli and Enoki Mushrooms
SERVES
2-4
sually General Tso’s Chicken is deep fried and loaded with unhealthy sodium, sugar and fat. This is a clean version that you can feel good about serving to your family.
DIRECTIONS
INGREDIENTS
STEP ONE
• 1 cup Brown Rice
Cook the brown rice according to the package or your rice cooker instructions.
• 2 cloves Garlic, chopped
STEP TWO For the Chicken: In a medium size bowl mix together the cut
up chicken with the coconut aminos, red pepper flakes, sesame oil and maple syrup. Marinate for 1 hour at room temp or all day (even overnight) in the fridge. Bring to room temp for 1 hour before cooking. STEP THREE For the Sauce: Using a whisk, mix all the sauce ingredients in a
bowl or measuring cup. Leave the whisk in there, you will need to stir up the cornstarch again before using it.
• 1 head Broccoli, broken into small florets • 1 package of Enoki Mushrooms, bottom removed and mushrooms broken apart a little FOR THE CHICKEN
• 2-3 Chicken Breasts, cut into 2" cubes • 3 tbsp Soy Free Coconut Aminos or Low Sodium Tamari • Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes, optional • 1 tsp Dark Sesame Oil • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup • 5 tbsp Cornstarch • 3-4 tbsp Grapeseed Oil, divided
STEP FOUR
Drain the chicken, put it in a zip top bag and toss the cornstarch into it, make sure all the pieces are coated evenly, shale off excess. Heat a wok or heavy fry pan over high heat. Add about 3 tbsp of the grapeseed oil, let heat until shimmering. Add the chicken to the hot oil, toss and let the chicken brown on the first side, toss again and continue to let the chicken brown all over, this will take about 6-7 minutes, remove from the pan.
• 1 bunch of Green Onions, cut into 3-4" segments • 10 dried whole Red Chilies FOR THE SAUCE
• 2 tsp Dark Sesame Oil • 2 tsp Cornstarch • 1 tbsp Unsweetened Brown Rice Vinegar • 2 tbsp Coconut Sugar
STEP FIVE
Add a little more grapeseed oil, add the green onion and whole chillies, toss until the green onions have darkened in spots. Add the sauce, let it bubble, add the chicken back to the pan, toss for 1-2 minutes, remove the chicken and green onions/chilies to a serving dish. STEP SIX
Add a last little bit of oil to the pan then add the garlic, cook for a minute or so. Add the broccoli to the pan, toss, add about 1/4 cup water, tossing continuously for about 3-4 minutes, the pan will dry out a little. Add the enoki mushrooms, toss with the broccoli and break them up while tossing. Cook until the mushrooms have wilted. Add the veggies to the serving dish with the chicken and serve with brown rice.

• 2 tbsp Maple Syrup • 2 tbsp Soy Free Coconut Aminos or Low Sodium Tamari • 2 tbsp Water

EXPERTAPPROVED TIPS to achieve an
ON-TREND
10
m o o r h t Ba
he arrival of the new year brings new trends for the home. Renovating your bathroom is a smart place to start because an update will enhance the value of your home and add relaxation to your lifestyle.
For a beautiful bathroom, design expert Kimberley Seldon recommends a mix of fashionable pieces paired with classic finishes for a timeless look. She also knows from partnering with the Electrical Safety Authority how important it is to hire the right professionals, including a licensed electrical contractor.
When designing this small space, add interest to the floors by using a statement tile with graphic patterns. Another popular option is oversized tiles for a sleek look. In-floor heating will keep the room toasty and having it installed to Ontario Electrical Safety Code standards is a must. The associated wall thermostat must be at least one metre away from a bathtub or shower stall, or be GFCI-protected if it's within one metre. It can never be less than 50 centimetres away.
Keep the bathroom streamlined using cabinetry to store everything from electrical toothbrushes to styling tools and their cords behind closed doors. Remember, outlets placed within cabinetry require an interlocking switch that shuts off power to the outlet when the door is closed to prevent overheating or fire. >>>

For a modern shower stall, consider framing with metal and adding tempered glass to mimic the look of industrial steel windows. Keep the interior bright by adding specialized light fixtures - just make sure they're marked suitable for the location. Choosing the wrong kind of lighting or not having it installed correctly can pose a safety risk.
Use a neutral or monochromatic colour scheme and enhance it with large-scale artwork or sculptural sconces that frame the mirror. When having the lighting installed, ensure it is placed at least 30 centimetres away from any cupboards, shelving or anything flammable. Your licensed electrical contractor will know these facts, so you can rest assured your home is safe.
