SPICY STIR FRIED CHICKEN WITH GREENS AND PEANUTS



Spicy Stir Fried Chicken With Greens and Peanuts image

We loved this quick stir fry. It has a bit of heat, but next time I might even add more. If you don't like heat you can leave the serranos out. I used baby bok choy which worked perfectly. This really is fairly quick to make to. From Bon Appetit April 2008.

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH GREENS



Stir-Fried Chicken With Greens image

The chicken is not the centerpiece of this stir-fry, and you can leave it out, or use tofu instead, for a vegetarian version. It adds flavor and some substance, but this stir-fry is mostly about antioxidant-rich cruciferous vegetables, with a red pepper thrown in for color, adding its own set of nutrients (anthocyanins, beta carotene, vitamin C).

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 3 to 4 main-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick by 1/2-inch-wide pieces
1 tablespoon egg white, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
Salt to taste
1/4 cup chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 bunch kale, stemmed and washed well in 2 rinses of water
2 tablespoons peanut oil, rice bran oil or canola oil
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 fat garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 to 6 scallions (1/2 bunch), cut on the diagonal in 1/2-inch lengths, dark green part separated
6 to 8 brussels sprouts, quartered (about 1/2 pound)
1 small or 1/2 large red bell pepper, cut in thin 2-inch strips
1/2 pound baby bok choy, cut in 1-inch slices
Freshly ground pepper
Rice, whole grains or noodles for serving

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
  • Bring 2 to 3 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large saucepan and add the kale. Boil 1 minute, until just tender, and transfer to a bowl of cold water. Do not drain the water from the pot. Drain the kale, squeeze out excess water and chop coarsely
  • Combine the remaining rice wine, the stock and the soy sauce in a small bowl and set near your wok
  • Bring the water in the pot back 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 well in a colander
  • 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. Swirl in the remaining oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the white and light green pieces of scallions, the brussels sprouts and the red pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the bok choy and stir-fry for another minute. Add the chicken, the kale and the broth mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle on the green scallion ends. Remove from the heat and serve with grains or noodles

Tips:

  • Choose the best stir-fry pan: Use a well-seasoned wok or a large, flat-bottomed skillet with sloped sides for even cooking.
  • Prep your vegetables: Cut vegetables uniformly so they cook evenly. If using frozen vegetables, thaw them completely before stir-frying.
  • Use a high-smoke-point oil: Oils like grapeseed, avocado, or canola are good choices for stir-frying because they can withstand high heat without burning.
  • Stir-fry in batches: Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will result in steamed vegetables instead of stir-fried ones. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Cook chicken thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked through by checking that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Add sauce at the end: Stir in the sauce towards the end of the cooking process to prevent it from burning.
  • Serve over rice or noodles: Stir-fried chicken with greens is a great dish to serve over rice or noodles. It can also be served as a side dish or appetizer.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried chicken with greens is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your stir-fry turns out perfectly every time. Experiment with different vegetables, greens, and sauces to create your own unique variations of this classic dish.
