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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh pineapple and peppers will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well.
  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both good choices for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, be sure to slice them into thin strips so that they cook evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger will help to tenderize it and give it more flavor.
  • Cook the chicken over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the chicken and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Add the vegetables and pineapple last: This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fried chicken with pineapple and peppers is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried chicken with pineapple and peppers is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of sweet and savory flavors in this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
