SPICY CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE STIR-FRY



SPICY CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE STIR-FRY image

Categories     Chicken     Stir-Fry     Dinner

Yield enough for 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs. chicken breast or cubes
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp pepper
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp peanut oil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Your favorite vegetable medley.
We like green, yellow and red peper, broccoli, snow peas, white mushrooms, carrot, celery and red onion.

Steps:

  • Cut chicken into 1" cubes. Spread flour over plate. Dip chicken in flour so it is lightly covered on all sides. Place in large bowl. Mix paprika, salt, sugar and pepper together in a small bowl. Sprinkle mixture over chicken cubes. Add 4 1/2 tsp of soy sauce and toss lightly. Let sit for 10 min. Combine in small bowl peanut oil, red pepper flakes and 3 tsp. of soy sauce. Pour vegetable oil into large wok or fry pan. Add chicken and fry for 3-4 min. When chicken is no longer pink in the middle, add cut-up vegetables and cook for 1-2 min. Add minced garlic. Stir. Add soy, peanut oil and red pepper flake mixture. Stir for another minute or so. Serve immediately with white rice.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry comes together quickly and easily.
  • Use a hot pan: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-fries. Make sure your pan is hot before adding the oil and ingredients. This will help prevent the food from sticking and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Stir constantly: Stir-fries are all about quick cooking, so it's important to stir the ingredients constantly. This will help prevent them from burning and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of stir-fry. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Add the sauce at the end: The sauce is the finishing touch to your stir-fry. Add it at the end of the cooking process, once the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately, while they are still hot and fresh. You can garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, or sesame seeds.

Conclusion:

Spicy Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. With its tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and flavorful sauce, this stir-fry is sure to please everyone at the table.
