Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 15m

Yield Serves three to four

Number Of Ingredients 15

Salt to taste
1/2 pound broccoli florets, cut to the same size about 4 cups
3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast or tenders, preferably from a small producer of free-range chickens, cut into pieces 1/4-inch thick and 1 inch long
2 tablespoons finely shredded or minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chicken broth or water
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
1 large red bell pepper 6 to 8 ounces, cut in 2-inch julienne

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch, stirring the broccoli, for one minute until the water is coming back to a boil. Drain and shake out excess water. Lay the broccoli florets on a kitchen towel to drain further.
  • 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 red pepper flakes. Stir together well, and place within arm's reach of your pan (refrigerate if not cooking right away).
  • Combine the broth, vinegar, remaining cornstarch and rice wine or sherry 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. Add the oil to the sides of the pan and tilt the pan to distribute. Carefully lay the chicken pieces in one layer in the wok or pan. Let the chicken sear undisturbed for one minute, then add the shallot, garlic and remaining ginger. Stir-fry with the chicken for one minute until the chicken is lightly colored but not quite cooked through. Add the red pepper and broccoli to the wok, and stir-fry one minute. Stir the broth mixture and add to the wok. Season with salt to taste. Stir-fry one to two minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli and peppers are crisp-tender. Serve with brown rice, white rice or noodles.

GINGER VEGGIE STIR-FRY



Ginger Veggie Stir-Fry image

I just whipped this up one day when I felt like a stir-fry but did not have all the ingredients called for in some of the stir-fry recipes on this site. I used certain veggies I had on hand, but any seasonal veggies may be used. It has a mild ginger flavor that can be enhanced according to taste, and is filling yet light on the tummy! Tofu may be added. Serve over a bed of steamed jasmine rice.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon gingerroot, minced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup snow peas
1 cup purple cabbage, thinly sliced
1/4 cup onion, diced
2/3 cup carrot, shredded

Tips:

  • Prep your vegetables: Before you start cooking, wash and chop all of your vegetables. This will save you time and hassle while you're cooking.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: A large skillet or wok will allow you to cook all of your vegetables evenly. If you don't have a large skillet or wok, you can cook your vegetables in batches.
  • Use high heat: Stir-fries are cooked over high heat. This helps to quickly cook the vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring the vegetables constantly will help to prevent them from burning. It will also help to evenly distribute the heat throughout the skillet or wok.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or wok: If you overcrowd the skillet or wok, the vegetables will not cook evenly. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Season to taste: Season the stir-fry with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or rice vinegar for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately. This is when they are at their most flavorful and crispy.

Conclusion:

Stir-fries are a quick, easy, and healthy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. They are also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and healthy stir-fry on the table in no time.
