Recipe

To make the pouring sauce:
In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in 1/2 cup warm water, then add wheat free tamari, rice wine vinegar, ketchup, lemon juice and sesame oil.

Mix well and throw in the fridge until you�re ready to eat.

Just before serving, combine 1 teaspoons hot water with dijon mustard and garlic and mix in small bowl.

Add to the pouring sauce, 1/2 a teaspoon at time to taste.

To make the stir-fry sauce:
Prep the stir fry sauce by mixing gf soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.

To make the chicken stir-fry:
Combine oils and add to wok or large frying pan.

Heat oil over high heat until it glistens, about one minute.

Add chicken and saute until mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Turn the heat under the wok down to medium-high.

Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, wait one minute, and then add garlic, onions, water chestnuts, mushrooms, and the stir-fry sauce you prepared earlier.

Stir-fry everything until the mushrooms have cooked through, about 4 minutes, and remove to a serving dish.

Serve stir-fry with iceberg lettuce or nappa cabbage leaf wraps and top with pouring sauce.

Variation: you can do the same thing with ground beef, if you like.
