Lots of fresh garlic and ginger give this chicken-veggie stir fry tons of flavor. Stir the chili paste in or leave it on the side to suit your taste. The chicken marinates in teriyaki sauce for 10 minutes before stir-frying. The teriyaki sauce brings a variety of flavor combinations that includes sweet, salty, sour, and salty to this stir fry. With broccoli, carrots and sweet red peppers, it's a great way to get your daily allowance of vegetables. Served over brown rice, this makes a perfect one-dish meal with easy clean-up.
