EASY ORANGE CHICKEN VEGETABLE STIR-FRY RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Easy Orange Chicken Vegetable Stir-Fry Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Pattywak

Number Of Ingredients 16

SAUCE
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 large cloves garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
optional sweetener like sugar, honey, agave, etc.
STIR-FRY
1 pound chicken tender cut into cubes
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons corn starch
4 cups chopped vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, celery, mushroom, snap peas, etc.
olive oil
1/2 cup medium yellow onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Blend all the ingredients for the sauce in a blender or food processor for 10 seconds. Taste the sauce and add your choice of sweetener to your liking. Blend again for a few more seconds. Heat the sauce in a large skillet on medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer the sauce to a heat proof bowl. Rinse the skillet clean. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the corn starch and massage the chicken with your hands. If using fresh broccoli or green beans, boil the broccoli for 3-5 minutes until soft enough to pierce with a fork yet firm. Transfer the vegetables to a plate lined with a paper towel. Wipe down the skillet until dry. Heat approximately 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet on medium-high heat. Cook the onion and chicken until the chicken is cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining vegetables and stir-fry them together for 2 minutes. Slowly add a few tablespoons of sauce while stirring the vegetables and chicken. Continue to add the sauce a few tablespoons at a time, allowing about 15 seconds between each addition to allow sauce to slightly cook down. Spoon the stir-fry over a bowl of hot rice. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Use fresh vegetables, tender chicken, and flavorful sauce ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok: When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the wok. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly and will result in a soggy dish.
  • Stir-fry in batches: If you have a lot of ingredients to cook, stir-fry them in batches. This will help prevent overcrowding and ensure that the ingredients cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken first: Chicken takes longer to cook than vegetables, so it's best to cook it first. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the wok and set aside.
  • Use a high heat: Stir-frying is a high-heat cooking method, so make sure your wok or skillet is nice and hot before adding the ingredients.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring the ingredients constantly will help prevent them from sticking to the wok or skillet and will also help them cook evenly.

Conclusion:

This orange chicken and vegetable stir-fry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can make a stir-fry that is restaurant-quality right in your own home.
