 This meal was soooooo delicious! I loved it! So decided to share it here. It's easy to prepare and it's healthy. Definately one of my favourites from now on.

All you need for this meal:

- Chicken
- Soy sauce
- Sesame/peanut/coconut oil
- Vegetable or chicken stock or bouillon cube
- Couscous
- Carrot
- Broccoli
- Green beans
- Bell pepper
- Onion
- Garlic
- Scallions
- Additional veggies: chickpeas, other beans, asparagus, corn, peas, cauliflower, bamboo shoot, eggplant, radish, lentil. zucchini etc.
- Additional possible adds: Mint, lime, lemon, curry, parsley, cumin, coriander, tomato sauce, pesto, sesame seeds, sesame paste(tahini), other seeds, nuts, cashews, ginger root, salt, sugar, brown sugar, honey, rice wine vinegar etc
- You can replace chicken with tofu.

1. Prepare couscous or use already prepared one.
So use same amount of water as much you got couscous so 1dl couscous needs 1dl water. Dissolve bouillon cube in water or use stock instead of water to add flavor to couscous then add it to couscous in a bowl and leave it to absorb all of the liquid in it.
2. Spray wok or pan with oil and add soysauce then place on medium heat. Add chicken.
3. When chicken starts to look ready, add the rest to the pan and let them stir 5-10 minutes while moving them around to prevent sticking.
4. Mix in with couscous.

Optional: you can always marinade the chicken ahead. So mix soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and chili then add chicken and keep it in fridge for 15 minutes or more. Step 2 will then mean adding chicken and marinade to oiled wok.

Quick and easy! Tasty aswell. :)
