Provided by ranmcm

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons minced garlic
4 teaspoons grated ginger
4 teaspoons Chinese black vinegar (I used dark red wine vinegar)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 teaspoons hoisin sauce
3 teaspoons orange blossom honey
4 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
2 pounds beef flap steak, thinly sliced across the grain* (Flank or
skirt steak works)
4 tablespoons cornstarch
2 large heads broccoli, cut into florets and blanched
1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Steamed white rice, for serving (I used brown rice)

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the garlic, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce and honey. 2. Mix well and set aside until ready to use. 3. Preheat a wok or a large skillet. 4. Once it has reached a medium heat, add 1/2 of the peanut oil. 5. Dredge the beef in the cornstarch, lightly shake off any excess cornstarch and add 1/2 of the beef to the pan. 6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. 7. Add 1/2 of the broccoli to the pan and shake frequently. 8. Add 1/2 of the sauce and stir to evenly coat the beef and broccoli. 9. Cook until the sauce thickens about 5 minutes. 10. Repeat the process with the other half of the ingredients. 11. Serve immediately with steamed white rice. *It will be easier to slice the beef in thin strips if it has been partially frozen. Chef's Note: this may be able to be done in 1 batch if using a very large wok or skillet.

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI OR CAULIFLOWER



Stir-Fried Chicken with Broccoli or Cauliflower image

This is the model recipe for making stir-fried chicken with firm vegetables, those that must be parboiled before stir-frying. The extra step sometimes saves time and always helps you pinpoint doneness. But if you want to cook everything in one pan, cut the broccoli into small bits (1/2 inch or so) and start the recipe at Step 2. Serve with white or brown rice.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups white rice
Salt and pepper
1/2 head broccoli or cauliflower, cut into 1-inch slices
4 tablespoons good-quality peanut or vegetable oil
1 onion, diced
1 to 2 tablespoons grated or chopped fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
1 pound boneless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1/2-to 3/4-inch chunks or thin slices and blotted dry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 scallions, white and light green parts only, chopped (about 1/2 cup), plus more for garnish
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock, white wine or water

Steps:

  • Add the rice to a small saucepan and rinse until the water is no longer cloudy. Add enough water to cover the rice by 1 inch and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer until "craters" form in the rice, about 10 minutes. Lower the heat all the way and cover until ready to serve.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it and cook the broccoli until it just loses its rawness, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, then run under cold water to stop the cooking. Chop into bite-size pieces.
  • Put a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil, swirl it around and immediately add the onions, ginger and garlic and cook until the onion begins to brown and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove the onion mixture to a plate. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, then add the broccoli in an even layer and cook until it begins to brown, tossing occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the broccoli to the plate with the onion mixture.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, then add the chicken. Raise the heat to high, stir the chicken once, and let it sit for 1 minute before stirring again. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the chicken has lost its pink color, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Return the vegetables to the pan and toss once or twice. Add the soy sauce and scallions and toss again. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then add the stock and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced slightly and you've scraped up all the bits of chicken, about 30 seconds. Garnish with more scallions and serve over the rice.

Tips and Conclusion

Achieving a flavorful and colorful stir-fry with broccoli and cauliflower requires careful preparation and cooking techniques. Here are some tips to elevate your dish: 1. Choosing the Right Vegetables: - Select fresh, vibrant broccoli and cauliflower florets. Look for compact and tightly closed florets for the best texture and flavor. - Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. 2. Blanching the Vegetables: - Briefly blanch the broccoli and cauliflower florets in boiling water before stir-frying. This process enhances their color, preserves their nutrients, and reduces their cooking time in the stir-fry. - Blanching helps to maintain the vibrant color and crisp-tender texture of the vegetables while reducing their overall cooking time. 3. Seasoning and Marinating: - Use a combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger to create a flavorful marinade for the vegetables. - Allow the vegetables to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight to absorb the flavors. - Marinating adds depth of flavor to the vegetables and tenderizes them slightly, resulting in a more flavorful and succulent stir-fry. 4. Cooking Technique: - Heat your wok or large skillet over high heat to achieve a quick sear and prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy. - Use a small amount of oil to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pan. - Stir-fry the vegetables in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking. - Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp, maintaining their vibrant color and texture. 5. Enhancing the Flavor: - Add aromatics like ginger, garlic, and scallions to elevate the flavor profile of the stir-fry. - Incorporate a touch of heat with red pepper flakes or chili paste to add a spicy kick. - Finish the stir-fry with a drizzle of sesame oil to enhance its aroma and richness. Conclusion: Mastering the art of stir-frying broccoli and cauliflower requires careful attention to ingredient selection, preparation techniques, and cooking methods. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and nutritious stir-fry that showcases the vibrant colors and flavors of these versatile vegetables. Experiment with different seasonings and ingredients to personalize your stir-fry and make it a staple in your culinary repertoire.
