EASY ORANGE CHICKEN VEGETABLE STIR-FRY RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Easy Orange Chicken Vegetable Stir-Fry Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Pattywak

Number Of Ingredients 16

SAUCE
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 large cloves garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
optional sweetener like sugar, honey, agave, etc.
STIR-FRY
1 pound chicken tender cut into cubes
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons corn starch
4 cups chopped vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, celery, mushroom, snap peas, etc.
olive oil
1/2 cup medium yellow onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Blend all the ingredients for the sauce in a blender or food processor for 10 seconds. Taste the sauce and add your choice of sweetener to your liking. Blend again for a few more seconds. Heat the sauce in a large skillet on medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer the sauce to a heat proof bowl. Rinse the skillet clean. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the corn starch and massage the chicken with your hands. If using fresh broccoli or green beans, boil the broccoli for 3-5 minutes until soft enough to pierce with a fork yet firm. Transfer the vegetables to a plate lined with a paper towel. Wipe down the skillet until dry. Heat approximately 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet on medium-high heat. Cook the onion and chicken until the chicken is cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining vegetables and stir-fry them together for 2 minutes. Slowly add a few tablespoons of sauce while stirring the vegetables and chicken. Continue to add the sauce a few tablespoons at a time, allowing about 15 seconds between each addition to allow sauce to slightly cook down. Spoon the stir-fry over a bowl of hot rice. Serve immediately.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, one pot, main course

Time 10m

Yield Serves three

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, preferably from a small producer of free-range chickens, cut into pieces 1/4 inch thick by 1 inch long
2 tablespoons finely shredded or minced ginger
2 tablespoons Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
2 teaspoons soy sauce (low-sodium if desired)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon roasted and ground Sichuan peppercorns
1/4 cup chicken broth or water
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Zest of 1 orange
2 medium-size ripe tomatoes, cut into thin wedges, or 1 heaped cup cherry tomatoes, halved
3 cups baby spinach or chopped chard leaves, washed and dried
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, 1 tablespoon of the ginger, 1 tablespoon of the rice wine or sherry, the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch, sugar and ground Sichuan peppercorns. Stir together well and place within arm's reach of your pan. Combine the broth, vinegar and remaining rice wine or sherry with the remaining teaspoon cornstarch in a small bowl and place within arm's reach of your pan. Have the remaining ingredients measured out and near the pan.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic and remaining ginger and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Push the ginger and garlic to the sides of the pan and carefully lay the chicken pieces in one layer in the wok or pan. Let the chicken sear undisturbed for 1 minute, then add the orange zest and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the chicken is lightly colored but not cooked through. Add the tomatoes and stir-fry 30 seconds, just until the tomatoes begin to collapse. Stir the broth mixture and add to the pan with the spinach (or chard) and scallions. Sprinkle with salt to taste and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the heat and serve.
