CHICKEN BROCCOLI STIR FRY (EXTRA SAUCE!)



Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry (extra sauce!) image

Recipe video above. This is just about the minimum ingredients you can use to make a great stir fry that still really stacks up to real Chinese take out! Extra saucy is how I like this - because broccoli florets have a tendency to hold lots of sauce but I still want some to soak my rice.Shortcut using Charlie - see Note 5 (the sauce in this recipe is basically Charlie!).

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI STIR-FRY (WITH VARIATIONS)



Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry (With Variations) image

The recipe might look wordy and long but it is quite easy to follow and puts together rather quickly. You can use turkey breast in this if you like, or even shrimp. Just be aware the shrimp cooks faster than poultry and pull it off the heat just as it begins to curl. Tightly curled shrimp are really kind of tough and stringy.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 tablespoon minced gingerroot
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 -2 tablespoon brown sugar (I use Splenda brown sugar blend)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1/3 cup double-strength chicken broth
1 lb boneless turkey breast, thinly sliced or 1 large uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon cornstarch
cooking oil (enough to keep chicken from sticking)
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon peanut oil
4 -6 garlic cloves, sliced
3 small dried hot peppers
3 green onions, sliced
2 -3 cups broccoli florets, steamed
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
steamed jasmine rice (optional)

Steps:

  • Stir together sauce in a cup and set aside. Have all ingredients near the wok or large skillet.
  • Mix together the chicken with salt and rice wine in a small bowl. Lightly beat the egg and stir in with the chicken, then sprinkle in the cornstarch.
  • Allow this to sit for 20 minutes to absorb the wine flavor.
  • Then add it to the wok; when it sizzles, lower heat and stir until the chicken turns white (this will happen quickly), then drain chicken on paper toweling, and remove excess oil form wok, moving it carefully out of your cooking area so it is not accidentally spilled.
  • Add the combination of oils to wok, and when it is hot, toss in the garlic, hot peppers, and onions.
  • When it sizzles and becomes fragrant, add the chicken again and cook for 2-3 minutes until chicken cooks through.
  • Stir in sauce mixture and boil to thicken. Add water if you need to thin it.
  • Then stir in the broccoli, trying to coat it and when it heats through, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Check to see if it needs any salt.
  • Serve over fluffy white jasmine rice.
