STIR-FRIED CHICKEN AND BOK CHOY



Stir-Fried Chicken and Bok Choy image

No need for a wok here. You can use a flat-bottomed skillet or sauté pan instead, the bigger the better. You want as much surface area as possible to get as hot as possible, so preheat the pan for at least five minutes before adding the oil. There should be a forbidding amount of smoke when the ingredients hit the pan (open the windows and turn on the fan before you start). That will give you the deepest sear. Stir-fries are infinitely variable, and you can change up this recipe by using beef or pork, and other green vegetables (asparagus, broccoli, mustard greens, cabbage, spinach or thinly sliced green beans) substitute nicely for the bok choy. Make a version of this dish once or twice and you'll have a reliable and delicious alternative to takeout.

2 tablespoons soy sauce

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH BOK CHOY



Stir-Fried Chicken with Bok Choy image

In restaurants, stir-frying is done in extra-large woks over very high heat. To approximate the effect at home, don't crowd the meat in the pan, and make sure the wok and oil are nice and hot before you add the chicken.

BOK CHOY AND CHICKEN



Bok Choy and Chicken image

So yummy. So easy. So fast. Healthy, too! One of my mom's easy dinners. Bok choy is a leafy vegetable that tastes kind of like a cross between lettuce and cabbage, but also with a flavor of its own.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry cooks evenly.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet will help to prevent your food from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned wok, you can season it by heating it over medium heat and adding a tablespoon of oil. Swirl the oil around the pan until it coats the entire surface. Then, let the pan cool completely.
  • Use high heat: Stir-fries are cooked over high heat. This helps to quickly cook the food and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the food will not cook evenly. Cook the food in batches if necessary.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring the food constantly will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent it from burning.

Conclusion:

Stir-fries are a quick, easy, and healthy way to get a delicious meal on the table. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a stir-fry that is packed with flavor and nutrients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give stir-fry a try. You won't be disappointed!
