TURMERIC GINGER CHICKEN SAUTE



Turmeric Ginger Chicken Saute image

From Cooking Light May 2008. The recipe says it feeds 4, but I think with 2 pounds of chicken, it could feed 6-8 if you are watching your portions and pair it with some rice or another starchy side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more pungent and flavorful taste than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger for every 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger called for in the recipe.
  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for this dish. Chicken breasts are leaner, while chicken thighs are more flavorful.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, and garlic for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the chicken from sticking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet.
  • Stir-fry the chicken over high heat: Stir-frying the chicken over high heat will help to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
  • Add the vegetables last: The vegetables should be added to the wok towards the end of the cooking process so that they retain their crispness.
  • Serve immediately: Ginger chicken is best served immediately after cooking.

Conclusion:

Ginger chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The combination of ginger, soy sauce, and rice wine creates a flavorful sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve ginger chicken with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
