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.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your stir-fry the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Choose the Right Wok: A good wok is essential for making a great stir-fry. Look for a wok that is made of carbon steel or cast iron and has a flat bottom.
  • Heat Your Wok Properly: Before you add any ingredients to your wok, make sure it is properly heated. The wok should be smoking hot before you add the oil.
  • Stir-Fry in Small Batches: Don't overcrowd your wok. Cook your ingredients in small batches so that they don't steam and become soggy.
  • Use a High Heat: Stir-fries are cooked over high heat. This helps to quickly cook the ingredients and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Stir Constantly: Stirring constantly is essential for making a good stir-fry. This helps to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the ingredients from sticking to the wok.
  • Add Sauce at the End: Don't add the sauce to your stir-fry until the very end. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve the鮮翠欲滴 and flavor of the dish.

Conclusion:

Stir-fries are a quick, easy, and healthy way to enjoy a delicious meal. They are packed with vegetables, protein, and flavor. Plus, they are incredibly versatile. You can use any type of vegetables, protein, and sauce that you like. So get creative and experiment with different ingredients to find your favorite stir-fry recipe.
