CHINESE WOK RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix together the chicken with all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and set aside for 20 minutes.
• Mix together all the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.
• After the chicken has marinated, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok over high heat, swirl the oil in the wok. Sear the chicken until it begins to brown, about 2-3 minutes, remove from the wok to a bowl, and set aside.
• Turn the heat to low and add the other tablespoon of oil. Add the ginger, chilies, garlic, ground Sichuan peppercorns, scallions, and celery. Cook for a minute of two until fragrant.
• Add the chicken back to the pan and turn the heat up to high. Stir-fry for a minute and then use your finger or a small spoon to stir up the sauce ingredients (the cornstarch will have settled to the bottom, so make sure it’s well incorporated). Add the sauce to the wok and stir-fry for another minute until the sauce thickens, which will happen pretty quickly.
• Finally add the peanuts and stir. To finish drizzle with the teaspoon of toasted sesame oil and serve.
• Serve alongside with some steamed rice.

Steps:

• Make 2 cups of rice as instructed on package and keep hot.
• Heat wok over medium heat and add the oil, increase to medium-high heat.
• Add the broccoli and water, stir-fry for 1 minute or until broccoli is bright green.
• Add carrots, snow peas, mushrooms, water chestnuts, garlic and ginger; stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes or until tender crisp.
• In small bowl, combine the soy sauce, broth and cornstarch; mix well to dissolve.
• Add to wok and stir-fry for about 1 minute.
• Serve over rice.
