I just love the weekends, as with the weekends come night outs, crazy parties, lazy brunches, good wine and good food. Food has always been my area of great interest. Right from the childhood days of helping my grandma in the kitchen with her traditional and delicious recipes to my modern time quick fix meals, I just love to experiment with food. I just love browsing through new recipes and adding my variation to it.

So here’s one of my most favorite quick fix meal recipe for this weekend. It’s easy to replicate, not too complicated method and readily available ingredients makes it a child’s play. And the best part is that it’s “Chinese” and I love “Chinese food”, no wonder I’m in love with Beijing already.

Once the onion gets soft, add the other veggies (Bell pepper and spring onion) Sauté all the vegetables together for 2 more minutes. Now add the chicken and sauté it on high flame till it loses all its water and starts getting white in color.

Add salt to taste and for flavor add one tea spoon of ketchup and two teaspoons of Chili &Garlic paste. Add some water and let the paste boil till the chicken absorbs some flavor and the water turn into a thick gravy paste.
