Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup vegetable oil
4 ounces thin rice sticks or rice noodles
1 1/2 pounds broccoli (1-2 heads), cut into small florets, stalks reserved for another use
1/2 cup skinless almonds or raw cashews
3/4 cup kecap manis or 3/4 cup soy sauce mixed with 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup Chicken Stock , plus more if needed

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sherry and cornstarch. Add the ginger, then add the chicken pieces and stir to coat. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until it reaches 350 degrees on a deep-fat thermometer. The rice sticks cook almost instantly, so have a slotted spoon and paper towels ready before you start. Take a handful of rice sticks, break into 2- to 3-inch pieces, and drop into the hot oil. They should puff immediately and become opaque-remove them as soon as they do to prevent burning and drain on the paper towels. Repeat, bringing the oil back to 350 degrees before you add more rice sticks, until all of them are cooked.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the oil and return the pan to the heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken, broccoli, and almonds and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is lightly browned all over, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the kecap manis and chicken stock and bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender, 3 to 4 minutes; add a little more stock if the mixture becomes too dry.
  • Divide the chicken and broccoli among the plates, top with the crispy noodles, and serve.

I'm not a fan of chicken and broccoli, but this recipe was amazing! The chicken was tender and flavorful, the broccoli was cooked perfectly, and the crispy noodles were a delicious addition. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use half the amount of chili sauce. The chicken and broccoli were cooked perfectly and the crispy noodles were a nice touch.

This recipe was easy to follow and the end result was delicious! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and they were still very tender. The crispy noodles were a nice touch.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the broccoli was overcooked. The crispy noodles were also soggy. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a great way to use up some leftover chicken and broccoli. I also added some mushrooms and baby corn to the stir-fry, and it turned out really well. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I added a little bit of rice vinegar to b

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and ginger to the sauce, and it helped to improve the flavor. Next time, I'll also try using a different type of noodle, such as ramen noodles.
