STIR-FRIED CHICKEN AND BOK CHOY



Stir-Fried Chicken and Bok Choy image

No need for a wok here. You can use a flat-bottomed skillet or sauté pan instead, the bigger the better. You want as much surface area as possible to get as hot as possible, so preheat the pan for at least five minutes before adding the oil. There should be a forbidding amount of smoke when the ingredients hit the pan (open the windows and turn on the fan before you start). That will give you the deepest sear. Stir-fries are infinitely variable, and you can change up this recipe by using beef or pork, and other green vegetables (asparagus, broccoli, mustard greens, cabbage, spinach or thinly sliced green beans) substitute nicely for the bok choy. Make a version of this dish once or twice and you'll have a reliable and delicious alternative to takeout.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves 2 to 3

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
3/4 pound boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 tablespoons finely chopped gingerroot
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 pound bok choy (1 head), trimmed and thinly sliced
2 leeks (1/2 pound), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
Pinch chile flakes
Salt, as needed
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar. Pour half the mixture over the chicken, along with half the ginger and half the garlic. Let stand 20 minutes.
  • Heat a large, 12-inch skillet over high heat until extremely hot, about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil and the chicken. Cook, stirring constantly, until meat is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining peanut oil to the skillet. Add the bok choy and cook 1 minute. Stir in the leeks and chili flakes; cook, tossing frequently until bok choy and leeks are tender, about 1 minute. Stir in the marinade and a pinch of salt. Move vegetable mixture to the border of the pan. Add remaining ginger and garlic to center of pan and cook, mashing lightly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return chicken to skillet and combine with ginger, garlic, and vegetables. Serve immediately, over rice.

Tips:

  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a more robust flavor than garlic powder or garlic salt. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder or 1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt for every clove of garlic called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly and will end up being steamed instead of stir-fried. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help prevent the chicken from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned wok or skillet, you can season it by rubbing it with a little oil and then heating it over high heat until the oil is smoking. Let the wok or skillet cool before using.
  • Stir-fry the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken should be cooked through but still tender. You can check to see if the chicken is cooked through by cutting it in half. The inside of the chicken should be white and opaque.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Stir-fried chicken is best served immediately. If you need to keep the chicken warm, you can place it in a warm oven or in a covered dish.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried garlic chicken is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a healthy dish that is packed with protein and vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious stir-fried garlic chicken that your family and friends will love.
