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.

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH MANGO AND PEPPERS



Stir-Fried Chicken With Mango and Peppers image

This is from HeartSmart Chinese Cooking, by Steven Wong. Every single recipe in this book is delicious, and since I can't post them all, you should just buy it. The recipes are great because they taste authentically Asian, but are a lot lower in fat and salt than a lot of traditional recipes. Prep time includes marinating time. Can be served over rice, but I find it's a filling meal in itself.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use a wok or large skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-frying because it allows you to heat the food evenly and quickly.
  • Heat your wok or skillet over high heat: This will help to create a sear on the chicken and vegetables, locking in their flavor.
  • Add the chicken first: Chicken takes longer to cook than the vegetables, so it's best to add it to the wok or skillet first.
  • Stir-fry the chicken and vegetables in batches: Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet, or the food will not cook evenly. If necessary, cook the chicken and vegetables in batches.
  • Use a spatula to stir-fry: A spatula is the best tool for stir-frying because it allows you to easily move the food around the wok or skillet.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked through, add the sauce and stir-fry for a few minutes more. This will help to blend the flavors.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fried chicken and hot peppers is best served immediately, while it is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried chicken and hot peppers is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish at home that is just as good as anything you would find at a restaurant.
