CATHY'S QUICK STIR-FRIED BROCCOLI SLAW SIDE DISH



Cathy's Quick Stir-Fried Broccoli Slaw Side Dish image

My husband and I were hosting a small backyard get together, and were getting ready to take everything out to the deck to eat, when I realized we didn't really have much of a vegetable to serve. I opened the fridge and saw a bag of broccoli slaw and just threw this together. It was a hit! Our neighbor begged me for the recipe, so I decided I'd better post it before I forget what I did! Measurements of oil, garlic, and soy sauce are approximate. This is a simple, fresh side dish with a nutty-garlic flavor. Adjust to your personal preferences. I've never cooked with sesame seeds, but I'd be curious to see how they would work in this dish, in place of the pine nuts. Prep time is for toasting pine nuts, but this can easily be done while stirfrying the broccoli slaw as well. (In a separate pan, of course!)

Provided by SrtaMaestra

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli coleslaw mix
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar, to taste (I used Splenda)
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted (See note)
salt or pepper, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat sesame oil in large skillet or wok.
  • Add garlic. Sautee garlic slightly, infusing oil with garlic flavor. Monitor heat carefully to avoid burning.
  • Add broccoli coleslaw, and stir fry until crisp-tender. (I cheated and put the cover on my skillet for a little while to speed things along with a little steam).
  • Add soy sauce and splenda, and continue to cook until splenda is disolved and liquid is absorbed. Taste test, and determine whether or not you'd like to add more splenda, soy sauce, or salt and pepper. Adjust seasonings accordingly.
  • Place in serving bowl, and top with toasted pine nuts. Toss slightly, but no so much that pine nuts drop all the way to the bottom of the bowl.
  • Note: To toast pine nuts, I placed them in a heavy pan, over medium-low heat, and tossed and shook the pan to keep them moving, until they started to show some browning and until they started to smell toasted and more intense.

STIR-FRIED BROCCOLI IN OYSTER SAUCE



Stir-Fried Broccoli in Oyster Sauce image

When I was growing up in Brooklyn, many of my friends had working parents who would leave them money to buy Chinese takeout for dinner. I would crave their chicken wings, plantains and chicken with broccoli, but my mother was less than happy with my junky leanings. So she decided to make better Chinese takeout food at home, which is how this simple broccoli dish came about. It's been a hit ever since. I never order chicken with broccoli at my local takeout anymore. (Chicken wings are a different story.) -Vivian Chan, Recipe Tester

Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fried Noodles image

There are many variations of beef and broccoli--it can be served with just about any type of sauce. This version is ready quickly and can be made in a skillet instead of a wok. Just be sure to prep all the elements in advance-once you start cooking, there's no time for chopping or slicing! It's kept simple with minimal ingredients and also utilizes ones you may already have in your pantry, like dried ramen noodles. You can swap the NY strip steak for rib eye or sirloin.

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1 head broccoli, cut into florets and stems peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick coins
4 tablespoons canola oil
1 New York strip steak (10 to 12 ounces), 1 1/2 inches thick, thinly sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced on a bias (whites and greens separated)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon chile paste, such as sambal
One 3-ounce package dried curly noodles, such as ramen

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. It should be as salty as the sea. Prepare an ice bath and season generously with salt. Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bright green and tender, but still slightly crisp. Remove the broccoli and immediately plunge into the ice bath and set aside, but reserve the boiling water for the noodles later.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Season the steak with salt. Add the steak in batches to the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside. Repeat with remaining steak.
  • To the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil. Add the scallion whites, garlic, ginger, onions and rice wine vinegar. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the oyster sauce, chicken stock and chili paste and stir to combine.
  • To the same pot of boiling water, add the noodles and cook according to package directions. Using tongs, remove the noodles and add directly into the saute pan with veggies. Add the broccoli florets and steak and toss to combine, ensuring the noodles, steak and broccoli are fully coated in the sauce. Mix in the broccoli stems. Plate and garnish with reserved scallion greens.

BROCCOLI 'N RED PEPPERS STIR FRIED



Broccoli 'n Red Peppers Stir Fried image

The key to a good stir fry is to have the veggies piping hot but still crisp. Cook this to your liking in terms of crispness. If you like a thicker sauce add 2 tsp of cornstarch to the stock. Great with Chicken. If you wish this suitable for vegetarrian diets use veggie stock in place of the chicken stock I have made this again in 2009. I modified the recipe by omitting the sesame seeds, used no oil just a light spray of "no oil." Not caring for a lot of sauce cut out the stock and used 4 tbsp of vermouth with 3 tbsp light soy - It worked.

BROCCOLI AND CHICKEN STIR-FRIED RICE



Broccoli and Chicken Stir-Fried Rice image

This is adapted from Cooking Light, July 2007. I really think it is one of my favorite stir-fry recipes out there, It is also very flexible...I'm sure you could sub in other veggies for some of the broccoli, like water chestnuts or carrots or mushrooms. Let your imagination run wild :). The original recipe calls for 2 T reduced-sodium soy sauce plus 1/4 t table salt stirred in at the end, but I think it is salty enough as written here.

Stir-Fried Chinese Broccoli and Chicken With Hoisin image

The extra step to "velvet" the chicken is worth it for such tender, succulent chicken. I always look for sustainably raised chicken.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 3 main-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut across the grain in 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 tablespoon egg white, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil, rice bran oil or canola oil
1 bunch Chinese broccoli (about 1 pound), ends trimmed
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 fat garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced thin
Rice, whole grains or noodles for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the egg white, cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the rice wine or sherry, salt to taste and 1 1/2 teaspoons water. When you can no longer see any cornstarch, add the chicken and stir together until coated. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
  • Bring 2 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large saucepan and add the Chinese broccoli. Boil 2 minutes, until it is just crisp-tender, and transfer it to a bowl of cold water. Do not drain the water from the pot. Drain the broccoli and dry on paper towels. Cut into 2-inch lengths
  • Combine the remaining rice wine, the hoisin sauce and the soy sauce in a small bowl and set near your wok
  • Bring the water in the pot back to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and turn the heat down so that the water is at a bare simmer. Carefully add the chicken to the water, stirring so that the pieces don't clump. Cook until the chicken turns opaque on the surface but is not cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the remaining oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the mushrooms, chicken, broccoli, hoisin sauce mixture and salt to taste. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, and serve with grains or noodles

1/4 lb fresh mushrooms
1 lb uncooked sea scallops
1/4 cup roasted red bell peppers (from 7-oz jar)
1 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
2 cups water
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 can (10 1/2 oz) condensed chicken broth
2 teaspoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Trim the large leaves from the broccoli, and cut off any tough ends of lower stems. Rinse broccoli with cool water. Cut stems and florets into bite-size pieces. Cut stem ends from the mushrooms, and cut the mushrooms into 1/4-inch slices.
  • If the scallops are larger than 1 inch in diameter, cut each in half. Rinse with cool water, and pat dry with paper towels. Drain the roasted red peppers in a strainer; cut the red peppers into slices.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the rice and water to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once mixture is boiling, reduce heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently. Cover with lid; cook about 15 minutes or until rice is fluffy and tender. While the rice is cooking, continue with the recipe.
  • In a 3-quart saucepan or 12-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms; cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Stir in the scallops, broccoli and roasted red peppers. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until scallops are white and opaque. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  • Place the cornstarch in a medium bowl. Gradually stir the chicken broth into the cornstarch until the mixture is smooth. Stir the broth mixture and soy sauce into the scallop mixture. Heat to boiling over high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling 1 minute, stirring constantly. Serve over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are tightly closed and have a deep green color. Avoid crowns with yellow or wilted florets.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and wash them thoroughly. You can also blanch the broccoli for a few minutes to help retain its color and nutrients.
  • Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help prevent the broccoli from sticking and burning. If you don't have a well-seasoned pan, you can use a nonstick pan or spray the pan with cooking spray.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the broccoli, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the broccoli from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam rather than fry.
  • Cook the broccoli over medium-high heat: Cooking the broccoli over medium-high heat will help it to brown and crisp up. If you cook the broccoli over low heat, it will take longer to cook and will be more likely to become soggy.
  • Stir the broccoli frequently: Stirring the broccoli frequently will help it to cook evenly and will prevent it from burning.
  • Season the broccoli to taste: Once the broccoli is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Fried broccoli is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. When frying broccoli, it is important to choose the right broccoli, prepare it properly, and cook it over medium-high heat. By following these tips, you can make the perfect fried broccoli that is crispy, flavorful, and healthy.
