STIR FRY CHICKEN RECIPES EASY RECIPES

Steps:

• Velveting the chicken: Slice the chicken into bite-size pieces. Beat together the egg white and 1 tbsp cornflour in a bowl. Tip in the chicken and coat with the mix (see Know-how, top right). Marinate for 15-30 mins (don’t place in the fridge or the mix will harden). Now rinse the rice in a sieve under the cold tap until the water runs clear.
• Making perfect rice: Drain the rice, tip into a pan with a lid and pour over 600ml water and a pinch of salt. Bring the water to the boil, then cook the rice uncovered for 10 mins or so until the water has almost boiled away and small craters appear. Cover with a lid, turn the heat down as low as it will go and cook for 10 mins more.
• Getting the ingredients ready: Strip the ginger skin with a teaspoon and finely chop until you have 1 tbsp. Halve the pepper and trim off the stalk, inner pith and seeds. Cut into bite-size pieces. Peel the shallot and garlic clove, then thinly slice. Trim the ends off the chilli, if using, removing the seeds if you like it milder, and cut into thin slices. Remove the chicken from the egg marinade and pat dry with kitchen paper.
• Foolproof stir-frying: Heat a wok and pour in 1 tbsp oil. Cook the chicken for 7-10 mins, tossing until just cooked. Set aside. Pour in some more oil if you need to. Add the pepper and cook for 1 min, then cook the ginger, shallot and garlic for 1-2 mins more. Combine the fish sauce, lime juice, 50ml water and 1 tsp cornflour. Tip into the wok, then add the chicken. Cook for 1 min, stir through the basil, then serve with the rice.

Steps:

• In a saucepan boil rice and water over high heat. Now on medium-low heat cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until rice is tender, and water has been absorbed by the rice.
• In a small bowl combine brown sugar, cornstarch and soy sauce.
• Mix red pepper, ginger, and garlic into the sauce and marinade your chicken and refrigerate for 20 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-high heat. Cook and stir water chestnuts, broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, and onion for about 5 minutes or until just tender.
• Now remove chicken pieces from the marinade. Over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon sesame oil in skillet. Cook and stir chicken for 2 minutes per side until slightly pink on the inside.
• Now add the warm vegetables and the marinade liquid (from the chicken) to skillet. Cook and stir for 5 to 7 minutes until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer pink in the middle. Serve over plain warm rice.
