Time 27m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound chicken breast (about 2 breasts), cubed
3 scallions, whites only, thinly sliced on a bias
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece peeled fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
About 1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 to 6 cups broccoli florets and sliced stalks (keep the 2 cuts separate)
3/4 to 1 teaspoon red chili flakes, optional
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
Ttoasted sesame seeds, for serving, optional
Jasmine rice, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with the scallion whites, sugar, sesame oil, sherry, soy sauce, about half the garlic, half the ginger, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch and 1 teaspoon salt. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1/3 cup water in a small bowl and reserve.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and heat. Add the broccoli stems and stir-fry for 30 seconds.

Transfer to a plate.
  • Get the skillet good and hot again, and then heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the chicken and red pepper flakes if using. Stir-fry until the chicken loses its raw color and gets a little brown, about 3 minutes. Add the hoisin sauce, return the broccoli to the pan and toss to heat through. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil to thicken. Add more water if need to thin the sauce, if necessary. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if you like.

SIMPLE BROCCOLI STIR-FRY



Simple Broccoli Stir-fry image

Stir-frying has stood the test of time. It's a wonderful way to cook small pieces of vegetables and meat quickly, without a lot of fat. Prepping your ingredients ahead of time and having them near your stovetop is the key to success. This recipe can be made in a large nonstick skillet, but consider purchasing a wok: Carbon steel and cast-iron take on high heat well, and the concave shape makes stir-frying foods easy and fast.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large bunch broccoli (about1 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon vegetable or peanut oil
1 scallion, chopped
2 to 3 cloves garlic, chopped (about 2 teaspoons)
1-inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped (about 2 teaspoons)
Pinch to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Cooked white or brown rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Trim the florets off the broccoli, and cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Peel the broccoli stalks with a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin, and slice 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal. Set aside.
  • Whisk together 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, cornstarch and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat a large wok over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, and swirl to coat the wok. Once the oil begins to smoke, add the broccoli florets and stems. Cook, stirring constantly, until browned around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water to steam the broccoli, and cook, stirring constantly, until tender, about 2 minutes more. Push the broccoli to the edges of the pan, forming an empty well in the center. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, then the scallions, garlic, ginger and pepper flakes, and stir until aromatic, 30 to 45 seconds. Add the soy mixture, and stir until the sauce has thickened and the broccoli is coated, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat, add the sesame oil and stir to coat. Serve with rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Cut the broccoli into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through.
  • Blanch the broccoli before stir-frying: This will help to preserve its color and crunch. To blanch the broccoli, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the broccoli. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green. Drain the broccoli and rinse it with cold water.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: This will help to prevent the broccoli from sticking. If you don't have a wok or skillet, you can use a large saucepan.
  • Heat the wok or skillet over high heat: This will help to sear the broccoli and create a nice caramelized flavor.
  • Add the broccoli to the wok or skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes: or until the broccoli is tender-crisp. Be careful not to overcook the broccoli, or it will become mushy.
  • Add your favorite sauce or seasonings: There are many different sauces and seasonings that you can use to flavor your stir-fried broccoli. Some popular options include soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic sauce, and ginger sauce.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fried broccoli is best served immediately, while it is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried broccoli is a quick, easy, and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as a side dish. With its vibrant green color and crunchy texture, stir-fried broccoli is a delicious and nutritious addition to any meal.
