CHICKEN BROCCOLI STIR FRY (EXTRA SAUCE!)

Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry (extra sauce!) image

Recipe video above. This is just about the minimum ingredients you can use to make a great stir fry that still really stacks up to real Chinese take out! Extra saucy is how I like this - because broccoli florets have a tendency to hold lots of sauce but I still want some to soak my rice.Shortcut using Charlie - see Note 5 (the sauce in this recipe is basically Charlie!).

Ingredients

2 tbsp cornflour/cornstarch

1 1/4 cups water

Steps:

Broccoli: steam or boil using preferred method until cooked to your taste (it won't cook any further in the stir fry). I usually microwave steam 3 minutes on high. Drain well.
Sauce: Mix cornflour and soy sauce, then mix in remaining ingredients.
Tenderising option: Consider tenderising chicken breast using this method. (Not needed for thigh)
Cook: Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and onion, stir for 10 seconds until garlic starts to go golden.
Then add chicken and cook for 2 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked through.
Add broccoli, Sauce and water. Stir well and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the Sauce thickens and becomes glossy, and coats the ingredients.
Serve over rice!

Beef and Broccoli with Black-Bean Garlic Sauce image

Better than takeout? We think so! What really sets this beef-and-broccoli stir-fry apart is the addition of black-bean garlic sauce, a rich and super-savory Chinese condiment made with fermented black beans, garlic, and chilis into a rich and super savory paste that soaks into this stir-fry with aplomb.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 pound skirt steak, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (from a 2-inch piece)
2 tablespoons black-bean garlic sauce, such as Kikkoman or Lee Kum Kee
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 cups small broccoli florets (from 1 head)
3 scallions, white and light-green parts thinly sliced (1/2 cup), plus darker greens, sliced, for serving
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

Pat meat dry, then toss with 3 teaspoons cornstarch. Stir together broth, ginger, black-bean sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch in a bowl. Measure 2 tablespoons water in a separate small bowl and set aside.
Heat a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) or wok over high for 3 minutes. Swirl in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Working in batches to avoid crowding pan, brown meat, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate.
Swirl in remaining vegetable oil and add broccoli. Cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add reserved water and toss until broccoli is bright green and tender, 1 to 2 minutes more.
Add white and light-green parts of scallion to skillet along with meat and any accumulated juices. Stir in black-bean-sauce mixture and toss until evenly coated and sauce has thickened, about 30 seconds. Serve with rice, sprinkled with scallion greens.

Chinese fermented black beans are a bargain-the small amount here packs a pungent, salty flavor that complements the sweet, garlicky sauce for the wings.

Provided by Lillian Chou

Time 40m

Yield Makes 4 (main course) or 6 (hors d'oeuvres) servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken wings
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon Chinese fermented black beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1/8 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok with cover

Steps:

Pat chicken wings dry, cut off and discard tips with a large heavy knife, and halve wings at joint.
Stir together broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, and sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
Heat wok over high heat until a bead of water evaporates instantly. Pour in oil and swirl around side of wok to coat. Add chicken wings and pinch of salt and stir-fry, letting wings sit 5 to 10 seconds between stirs, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add black beans, garlic, ginger, and red-pepper flakes and stir-fry 1 minute. Stir broth mixture, then add to wok, stirring to coat wings. Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until wings are tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a shallow serving dish.

Tips:

To save time, use pre-cut chicken and broccoli florets available at most grocery stores.
If you don't have Shaoxing wine, you can substitute dry sherry or white wine.
To make the sauce thicker, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) and cook until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Serve the chicken and broccoli over rice, noodles, or your favorite grain.

Conclusion:

This chicken and broccoli in black bean sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight meal. The combination of tender chicken, crisp broccoli, and flavorful black bean sauce is sure to please everyone at the table.
