GINGER VEGGIE STIR-FRY



Ginger Veggie Stir-Fry image

I just whipped this up one day when I felt like a stir-fry but did not have all the ingredients called for in some of the stir-fry recipes on this site. I used certain veggies I had on hand, but any seasonal veggies may be used. It has a mild ginger flavor that can be enhanced according to taste, and is filling yet light on the tummy! Tofu may be added. Serve over a bed of steamed jasmine rice.

Stir-Fries With Fresh Vegetables image

Over 50 percent of this colorful chicken stir-fry is composed of vegetables. Use chicken tenders or chicken breast.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 15m

Yield Serves three to four

Number Of Ingredients 15

Salt to taste
1/2 pound broccoli florets, cut to the same size about 4 cups
3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast or tenders, preferably from a small producer of free-range chickens, cut into pieces 1/4-inch thick and 1 inch long
2 tablespoons finely shredded or minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chicken broth or water
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
1 large red bell pepper 6 to 8 ounces, cut in 2-inch julienne

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch, stirring the broccoli, for one minute until the water is coming back to a boil. Drain and shake out excess water. Lay the broccoli florets on a kitchen towel to drain further.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, 1 tablespoon of the ginger, 1 tablespoon of the rice wine or sherry, the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch, sugar and red pepper flakes. Stir together well, and place within arm's reach of your pan (refrigerate if not cooking right away).
  • Combine the broth, vinegar, remaining cornstarch and rice wine or sherry in a small bowl, and place within arm's reach of your pan. Have the remaining ingredients measured out and near the pan.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add the oil to the sides of the pan and tilt the pan to distribute. Carefully lay the chicken pieces in one layer in the wok or pan. Let the chicken sear undisturbed for one minute, then add the shallot, garlic and remaining ginger. Stir-fry with the chicken for one minute until the chicken is lightly colored but not quite cooked through. Add the red pepper and broccoli to the wok, and stir-fry one minute. Stir the broth mixture and add to the wok. Season with salt to taste. Stir-fry one to two minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli and peppers are crisp-tender. Serve with brown rice, white rice or noodles.

Tips:

  • Prep your vegetables in advance: This will save you time and help ensure that your stir-fry is cooked evenly. Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook at the same rate.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: This will help prevent your food from sticking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or even a Dutch oven.
  • Heat your wok or skillet over high heat: This will help create a nice sear on your vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Add your vegetables to the wok or skillet in stages: Don't overcrowd the pan, or your vegetables will steam instead of stir-frying.
  • Stir-fry your vegetables for a short amount of time: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor. Aim to cook your vegetables for just 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
  • Add your sauce or seasonings towards the end of cooking: This will help prevent them from burning.
  • Serve your stir-fry immediately: Stir-fries are best enjoyed fresh out of the wok or skillet.

Conclusion:

Stir-fries are a quick, easy, and healthy way to enjoy your favorite vegetables. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious stir-fry on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give stir-fries a try.
