STIR-FRIED GINGER CHICKEN



Stir-Fried Ginger Chicken image

From Fete Accomplie in Washington D.C. EDIT: Please do not use the Zaar converter to cut this recipe in half as it is inaccurate with thirds.

Provided by cookiedog

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 38m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 bunch broccoli, separated into flowerets and sliced stems
2 cups snow peas
2 cups chicken stock
2 inches fresh ginger (peeled and grated)
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/3 cup cold water
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup dry sherry
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken into 1 inch strips and stir-fry it in the oil over high heat for about 2 minutes, until it has browned and is barely cooked through. Drain the chicken and set it aside.
  • Steam the broccoli flowerets and the sliced stems for 3 minutes, and the snow peas for 1 minute. Set them aside.
  • Boil the chicken stock, ginger, and garlic for 5 minutes and then strain the stock.
  • Combine the cornstarch with the cold water. Stir it into the chicken stock and boil the mixture until it has thickened. Add the soy sauce, sherry, and sesame oil. Add the chicken and vegetables to the sauce and heat through. Serve with boiled or steamed rice.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking and will give it a nice even sear.
  • Use a light hand with the ginger. Too much ginger can overpower the other flavors in the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much chicken to the pan at once, it will steam instead of fry and won't get crispy.
  • Cook the chicken in batches if necessary. If you don't have a large enough pan to cook all of the chicken at once, cook it in batches. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Serve the chicken immediately. Ginger fried chicken is best served hot and fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Ginger fried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of ginger, garlic, and soy sauce gives the chicken a fantastic flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give ginger fried chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
