- Grill the chicken, covered, turning occasionally, until well marked, 10 to 12 minutes, brushing with the hoisin sauce during the last minute of grilling. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions.
- Meanwhile, brush the vegetable kebabs with vegetable oil and season with salt. Grill until the vegetables are charred, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with the chicken kebabs.
CHICKEN, MUSHROOM, AND BOK CHOY KEBABS
Steps:
- Marinate chicken:
- Mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt.
- Boil soy sauce, Sherry, and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 2/3 cup, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic paste, ginger, and sesame oil, then cool to room temperature.
- Pour half of marinade into a large sealable bag and chill remainder for basting. Add chicken to bag and marinate, chilled, turning bag occasionally, at least 3 hours.
- Make kebabs:
- Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas).
- Meanwhile, halve bok choy lengthwise and blanch in a large pot of boiling salted water (2 Tbsp salt for 5 qt water) until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Immediately transfer with tongs to an ice bath to stop cooking. Pat bok choy very dry, then, bending leaves, thread 3 or 4 halves (through bulb and leaves) onto each of 3 or 4 skewers. Put on a tray.
- Toss mushrooms with vegetable oil. Thread mushrooms (through sides) and chicken (discard marinade) onto remaining skewers, alternating them. Put on another tray.
- Oil grill rack, then grill chicken-and-mushroom skewers, covered only if using a gas grill, 6 minutes. Turn over and baste with some of remaining marinade, then grill, turning and basting occasionally (but not during last 3 minutes), until chicken is just cooked through and mushrooms are tender, 6 to 8 minutes more.
- Lightly brush bok choy with oil and grill, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes total.

VELVETED CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND BOK CHOY
To up your stir-fry game, here's an old-school technique called "velveting." It's a process that makes your proteins super tender. It's that "slippery" mouthfeel that is synonymous with Chinese takeout. This is a great dish to celebrate the lunar new year, autumn festival or any occasion. You can apply this velveting method to any stir-fry.

Steps:
- For the velveted chicken: Place the chicken in a medium bowl. Add the cornstarch, baking soda, oil, 2 teaspoons of water and a pinch of salt and stir into the chicken until well incorporated. Let marinate at room temperature while you do the knife work for the vegetables. Or cover the chicken and let marinate in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For the stir-fry: When ready to cook, bring about 4 inches water to a boil in a 4- to 6-quart saucepan over high heat. Add the marinated chicken, stirring gently and constantly for about 2 minutes. The chicken will start out pink, turn opaque and white, then float to the top. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon or spider and reserve until it's time to stir-fry. You can also hold the pre-cooked chicken for a few days in the refrigerator.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Swirl in the oil then immediately stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Stir in the mushrooms. The mushrooms will sear then start to release their moisture. Cook, stirring every 20 seconds, until the mushrooms look soft and almost ready to eat, about 2 minutes.
- Add the baby bok choy and bell peppers and stir-fry until they just start to soften and pick up some color, about 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken, scallions, oyster sauce, mushroom soy sauce, chicken powder and scallions and work all the sauces into the stir-fry, about 30 seconds. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Give the dish a light dusting with white pepper right before serving.

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN AND BOK CHOY
No need for a wok here. You can use a flat-bottomed skillet or sauté pan instead, the bigger the better. You want as much surface area as possible to get as hot as possible, so preheat the pan for at least five minutes before adding the oil. There should be a forbidding amount of smoke when the ingredients hit the pan (open the windows and turn on the fan before you start). That will give you the deepest sear. Stir-fries are infinitely variable, and you can change up this recipe by using beef or pork, and other green vegetables (asparagus, broccoli, mustard greens, cabbage, spinach or thinly sliced green beans) substitute nicely for the bok choy. Make a version of this dish once or twice and you'll have a reliable and delicious alternative to takeout.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your kebabs will taste. Look for fresh, organic vegetables and free-range chicken.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein that can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for mushrooms and bok choy, but you can use any type of vegetables you like. Some other good options include bell peppers, zucchini, and squash.
- Season the kebabs well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt and pepper to your kebabs. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, paprika, or cumin.
- Cook the kebabs over a hot grill: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the chicken and vegetables.
- Serve the kebabs immediately: Kebabs are best served hot off the grill. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tzatziki sauce, hummus, or ranch dressing.
Conclusion:
Chicken, mushroom, and bok choy kebabs are a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for summer grilling. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give these kebabs a try.
