SZECHUAN CHICKEN STIR-FRY



Szechuan Chicken Stir-Fry image

A great stir-fry is all about timing. The trick is to have all the ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start to cook so that every element can go in at exactly the right moment. Cooking in stages also allows the vegetables to get that irresistible seared-yet-crisp-and-tender quality. Sambal oelek is available in the international aisle of most supermarkets and is worth keeping on hand for adding a last-minute kick to many dishes. You could also substitute a generous pinch of crushed red pepper.

STIR-FRY CHICKEN SALAD WITH SZECHUAN NOODLES



STIR-FRY CHICKEN SALAD WITH SZECHUAN NOODLES image

Categories     Salad     Chicken     Pasta     Stir-Fry

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 chicken breast halves, skinned, boned and cut into 3/8 inch julienne
peanut oil
1-1/4 lb. Chinese egg noodles
3 large red bell peppers
5 green onions, cut diagonally into 1/4 inch pieces
3 Tbs. white wine vinegar
2 Tbs. red chili oil
2 Tbs. Oriental sesame oil
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. sea salt
1-1/2 tsp. Szechuan peppercorns, ground in mortar
3/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
3 Tbs. peanut oil

Steps:

  • Heat 1 to 2 Tbs. peanut oil over medium-high heat in wok or heavy large skillet until very hot but not smoking. Add chicken and stir-fry just until opaque, about 3 minutes. Set aside. Bring large amount of salted water to rapid boil over high heat. Add noodles and cook until firm but tender (al dente). Drain well. Transfer to large bowl. Add 1 Tbs. peanut oil and toss gently to coat. Broil peppers 6 inches from heat source, turning occasionally, until all sides are blackened. Transfer peppers to paper bag and seal tightly. Set aside 10 minutes to steam. Slip charred skins off peppers and discard. Cut out stem to remove any remaining seeds and pat dry. Cut into 1/4 inch julienne. Combine onion, vinegar, red chili oil, sesame oil, sugar, salt, Szechuan peppercorns and freshly gorund pepper in medium bowl. Heat remaining 3 Tbs. of peanut oil in small saucepan until very hot but not smoking. Pour hot oil over onion mixture in thin steady stream, stirring constantly. Set aside for 15 minutes (hot oil will release flavor of spices). Reserve some of red pepper for garnish; add remaining red pepper to noodles. Add green onion mixture and chicken and toss gently using fork or chopsticks. Arrange reserved red pepper strips over top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature. Adjust seasoning and serve. Makes 6 servings.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around while you're cooking.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the chicken and vegetables. If you don't have a large skillet or wok, you can use a regular skillet, but you may need to cook the chicken and vegetables in batches.
  • Cook the chicken over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chicken and keep it juicy on the inside. Don't overcrowd the skillet or wok, or the chicken will steam instead of searing. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Stir-fried vegetables should be crisp-tender, not mushy. Cook them for just a few minutes, until they are bright in color and tender.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings a stir-fry together. Use a sauce that is packed with flavor, such as the Szechuan sauce in this recipe. You can also use a store-bought sauce, but be sure to taste it first and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately, while they are still hot and fresh. You can garnish the stir-fry with chopped green onions, cilantro, or sesame seeds.

Conclusion:

Stir-fry chicken salad with Szechuan noodles is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and juicy, the vegetables are crisp-tender, and the sauce is flavorful and addictive. Serve this stir-fry over rice or noodles, and you have a complete meal that the whole family will love.
