Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
3 teaspoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry (divided)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 teaspoons cornstarch (divided)
4 tablespoons chicken broth or water
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil for stir-frying (divided)
1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger
1 garlic clove (peeled, finely chopped)
1/2 medium onion (peeled, finely chopped)
1/2 green bell pepper (diced)
1/2 red bell pepper (diced)
1 green onion (finely chopped)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, marinate the chicken with the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons rice wine or dry sherry, pepper, and 3 teaspoons cornstarch, adding the cornstarch last. Let the chicken stand while preparing the other ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, combine the chicken broth or water, 1 1/2 teaspoons rice wine or dry sherry, sugar, and sesame oil. Whisk in 1 teaspoon cornstarch.
  • Heat a wok over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add half the ginger and garlic. Stir for about 10 seconds until aromatic, then add the chicken. Stir-fry the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes, until it turns white and is nearly cooked. Splash a bit of rice wine or dry sherry over the chicken while stir-frying if desired. Remove from the wok and drain in a colander or on paper towels. Clean out the wok.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the wok. Add the remainder of the ginger and garlic and stir for about 10 seconds until aromatic. Add the onion and green bell pepper. Stir-fry for a minute, then add the red bell pepper. Continue stir-frying for another minute, adding a bit of rice wine or dry sherry, chicken broth or water if the vegetables start to dry out.
  • Push the vegetables to the side and add the chicken. Stir briefly, then push to the sides. Re-stir the sauce and add it into the middle of the wok, stirring quickly to thicken. Stir to mix everything together. Stir in the green onion and serve hot over rice.

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH MIXED PEPPERS



Chicken Stir-Fry With Mixed Peppers image

I used green peppers only for this stir-fry. Try to use a mix of hot and sweet peppers, and feel free to use red, yellow or orange ones if you want to introduce some color. The chicken is "velveted" before stir-frying; a good name for this technique as the texture of the chicken remains velvety and moist after stir-frying.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut across the grain in 1/4-inch thick slices
1 tablespoon egg white, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil, rice bran oil or canola oil
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 fat garlic cloves, minced
1 pound green peppers, with at least one of them a hot pepper such as an Anaheim
1/4 cup cashew pieces

Steps:

  • In a large bowl stir together the egg white, cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the rice wine or sherry, salt to taste and 1 1/2 teaspoons water. When you can no longer see any cornstarch add the chicken and stir together until coated. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the remaining rice wine or sherry, the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl and set it near your wok.
  • Fill a medium-size saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and turn the heat down so that the water is at a bare simmer. Carefully add the chicken to the water, stirring so that the pieces don't clump. Cook until the chicken turns opaque on the surface but is not cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander set over a bowl.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add the remaining oil by pouring it down the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and chile and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the peppers and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken, cashews and hoisin sauce mixture and salt to taste. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, and serve with grains or noodles.

An easy tip to follow when cooking and eating healthy is "Eat the rainbow," and this colorful stir-fry is a great way to start. We use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts because a little goes a long way.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 2 large), cut into 3/4- to 1-inch pieces
1 large egg white
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
5 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
2-inch piece ginger, sliced paper thin
5 scallions, whites cut into 1/2-inch pieces and greens sliced, separated
2 red bell peppers, sliced
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
Cooked brown rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Toss the chicken with the egg white, 1 tablespoon each rice wine and cornstarch, 1 teaspoon soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Mix together 1/3 cup water, the remaining 4 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine and 2 teaspoons cornstarch, the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl until dissolved; set aside.
  • Place the sauce, vegetables and chicken near the stove. Heat 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a large wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; swirl to coat the wok. Once the oil is hot, scoop the chicken from the bowl with a slotted spoon, letting any excess coating remain in the bowl, and add to the oil. Stir-fry, breaking the chicken up just enough so it doesn't clump, until the outside coating is set and lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside. Wipe the wok out if needed.
  • Return the wok to medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the wok. Just as the oil begins to smoke, add the ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the scallion whites and peppers and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the corn and stir-fry until just soft, about 1 minute. Add the chicken and the sauce (stir the sauce before adding); stir until the sauce is thick and the vegetables and chicken are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the scallion greens. Serve with the brown rice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling while you're cooking.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: This will help prevent the chicken and vegetables from sticking.
  • Cook the chicken in batches: If you overcrowd the wok or skillet, the chicken will steam instead of fry and won't get as crispy.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: They should still have a bit of crunch to them.
  • Add the sauce at the end: This will help prevent it from burning.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the wok or skillet.
