Mangetout prep for stir fry!

[wiggal]

Hi all you foodies :-)

Tonight I am making Mr Wiggal dinner as he makes it for me, well every other night, and yes I am cheating using a packet mix but it sounded nice!
It is the new Shwartz Honey chicken stir fry, and says I need mangetout, which I have bought, but do I have to do anything to them before I stir fry them!? Like chop bits off as I would with beans?!

Thanks! :-)

nope just bung them in, but at the very end they don't need more than a minute or two

sounds nice

[wiggal]

Thank you!

Well it said to put the mangetout and peppers in with the chicken and stir fry for 5 mins, then add the packet mix and water and leave to simmer til the chicken is properly cooked! Also got mixed pepper rice to go with it, so hope it is nice!

I will let you know later!

[mccfluff]

personally i would wait till the chicken is cooked and then put the mangetout, it will really overcook if you put it in first!

[wiggal]

Ok, I will do as you suggest as Im guessing you know a hell of a lot more about food and cooking then I do lol!

I will fry the peppers and chicken, then and the mangetout just before adding the mix and water :-)

hope it goes ok, just remember to sir fry on a really hot heat everything will cvook super fast and if you prepare all the ingrediants before hand. its all there ready for you to chuck in the pan

good luck

what exactly is "mangetout" just saw some igloo wreckers called that on another thread in CB. ( http://www.theanswerb...k/Question851535.html )

[wiggal]

I saw that, its what reminded me I needed to ask this!

The one Im refering too is the vegetable one, but I dont know what AB changes it from on the swear filter which I am guessing it does!!

Mangetout is a sugar snap pea , don't overcook it
as they go slimey .. one of my favourite veg as I grow
them ...enjoy.

Just thought I'd let you all know, dinner was a complete success!
Mr Wiggal said it was fantastic, and it was really lovely :-)

So I would definitely recommend it!!
