• 1 clove garlic (finely minced)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 6 green onions (thinly sliced)
• 3 tablespoons coconut or olive oil (divided)
• 1 pound boneless (skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced)

   In a small bowl, whisk together the stock, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sugar and green onions.

2. 2

   In a skillet, heat one tablespoon oil over medium-high heat, and stir-fry the chicken until cooked through. Set aside in a bowl.

3. 3

   Add the egg (if using) to the skillet and scramble. Set cooked egg aside with chicken.

   Add another tablespoon oil to the pan. Add the red bell pepper and stir fry for about 2 minutes, or until the pepper is beginning to become tender.

   Add the peas and stir fry for about one minute or until the color of the pea pods brightens.
