Sesame Chicken Stir Fry Recipe and a Blue Dragon CookBook Giveaway!

This post was sponsored by Blue Dragon as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.

Sesame Chicken Stir FryWhen I visited China and Thailand  a few years ago, I got to experience authentic cuisine. I had the chance to take a cooking class with one of the top Thai chefs in the country and to create some wonderful recipes. Truth be told that must of them are very complex but a few I have adapted to our menu roundups each week. The only issue I have though with cooking is time. Taking care of three small kids and having two jobs, time is of the essence. Most nights, I usually end up calling our local Chinese place to have our favorites delivered. However, that is not only expensive but plain unhealthy. This is where Blue Dragon comes into play!1236068_10151817677319356_1172037724_n

Blue Dragon is the leading provider of all the authentic flavors that help you develop your own Asian dishes from scratch. With Blue Dragon, I can have a “take-out” meal in the confines of my own home but without any of the unnecessary hassles of calling a restaurant, having it delivered, and never knowing truly what you are getting. By creating dishes using the authentic Blue Dragon sauces, I can create a well balanced meal but will also satisfy my endless wanting to order out. Having “take-out” at home is so much better and healthier too!

Sesame Chicken Stir FryThere are so many wonderful flavors of the Blue Dragon sauces including Broccoli Beef, General Tao, Pad Thai, Sweet & Sour, Szechuan Pepper, and Honey Teriyaki. I will tell you that while I use these to create my Asian dishes, I also love to flavor most of my food with these sauces. The other night I made a plain salmon and tossed in a packet of Honey Teriyaki. It was amazingly delicious and with the packets, it always me to create a delicious, yet different meal each and every time. A true score if you ask me!

I decided for my “take-out” meal I was going to make a Sesame Chicken Stir Fry using the General Tao sauce. This is a delicious, yet easy meal, my whole family can enjoy!
