Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
- Peel and slice the onion.
- Slice the red pepper and mushrooms.
- Cut the broccoli into small florets.
- Mince the ginger root and garlic.
- Slice the red hot chili peppers.
- In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add the sliced chicken breasts to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same wok or skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.
- Add the sliced red pepper, mushrooms, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to tenderize but remain crisp.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. In the cleared space, add the minced ginger root, garlic, and sliced red hot chili peppers. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan and combine with the vegetables and aromatics.
- Pour in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon of water. Stir everything together to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly in the sauce.
- Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld together.
- Transfer the chicken and vegetable stir-fry to a serving dish.
- Serve hot with your choice of steamed rice or noodles.
Tips:
- Preparation: Before you start cooking, prepare all your ingredients by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces and chopping all the vegetables. This makes the cooking process smoother and faster.
- High heat: Use high heat to quickly sear the chicken and vegetables. This helps to lock in their flavors and maintain their textures.
- Oil and seasoning: Use peanut oil for its high smoke point, which is ideal for stir-frying. Also, taste your stir-fry as you go and adjust the seasoning as needed to suit your preferences.
- Avoid overcrowding: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure everything cooks evenly. If necessary, cook the chicken and vegetables in batches.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately to retain their crispiness and vibrant flavors. Consider serving over a bed of steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
With its combination of tender chicken, crunchy vegetables, and savory sauces, this chicken and vegetable stir-fry is a well-rounded and satisfying meal. Whether served over rice, noodles, or on its own, this dish is sure to become a staple in your culinary repertoire. Enjoy the delightful textures and layers of flavor with each bite.
