Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups white rice
4 cups water
⅔ cup soy sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 green bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 head broccoli, broken into florets
1 cup sliced carrots
1 onion, cut into large chunks
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and corn starch in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Mix ginger, garlic, and red pepper into sauce; coat chicken with marinade and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir bell pepper, water chestnuts, broccoli, carrots, and onion until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet and keep warm.
  • Remove chicken from marinade, reserving liquid. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken until slightly pink on the inside, about 2 minutes per side; return vegetables and reserved marinade to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the middle and vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve over rice.

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 lb sliced boneless chicken breast
1/2 sliced red bell pepper
1/2 sliced green bell pepper
1 medium french cut white onion
8 -10 medium mushrooms (baby bella recommended)
2 tablespoons green onions
1 cup white rice
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce (kikkoman recommended)
1/3 cup marsala wine
1/4 teaspoon dried cilantro
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon dried ginger
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Saute sliced chicken in hot oil until one side is cooked and then add white onion while turning chicken.
  • Cook until onions are very soft.
  • Toss in red and green peppers, mushrooms and green onion and continue sauteing over med/high heat.
  • Stir in Cilantro, garlic powder, ginger, salt and pepper.
  • (If you use a very salty soy sauce you might not want to add salt)
  • Continue cooking until red and green peppers are soft.
  • Once peppers are soft stir in Marsala wine and soy sauce, continue cooking over med/high heat until almost all of the liquid has evaporated and you are left with a thick sauce.
  • Pour over a bed of rice and serve.
  • NOTE*It is very important to keep cooking until nearly all of the liquid has evaporated because you want the flavor of the soy sauce and wine on the vegetables NOT on the plate in a puddle.
  • If you prefer extra sauce for the rice just use more soy sauce and wine but make sure you burn off most of the excess water or your dish will lack flavor and be too liquidy.
  • Adding a little extra olive oil will always help to thicken the sauce.
  • Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use a wok or large skillet: A wok or large skillet is essential for stir-frying as it allows for even heat distribution and quick cooking.
  • Cut your vegetables and chicken into uniform pieces: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Marinate your chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful sauce or marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Use high heat and stir constantly: Stir-frying is a quick-cooking method, so it's important to use high heat and stir constantly to prevent the food from burning.
  • Add your vegetables in stages: Vegetables with longer cooking times, such as broccoli and carrots, should be added to the wok or skillet first. Vegetables with shorter cooking times, such as bell peppers and snow peas, can be added later.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: Overcrowding the wok or skillet will prevent the food from cooking evenly.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: A flavorful sauce will help to bring all of the ingredients together and make the dish more delicious.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked.
