I often have cravings of chinese takeout because I'll be first to admit that I loooove it and think it's delicious! Well, it tends not to be the healthiest considering you have no control of the ingredients. So one night, I set out to make one of my favorite dishes with stuff that I had in my fridge and pantry already! Lemme tell you, SUCCESS! This dish came together in about a half hour and it was amazing and super flavorful!
Ingredients:
3/4 - 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2 inch strips
1 tbsp of sambal oelek
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp of oyster sauce
2 tbsp of rice vinegar
1 tbsp of cornstarch
1 tsp of sesame oil
2 tbsp of vegetable oil
3 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
1 inch of ginger, thinly sliced
3 scallions, thinly sliced
5 baby corn, sliced
1 bunch of broccoli, cut into small florets
cooked white rice, for serving
Directions:

3 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
1 inch of ginger, thinly sliced
3 scallions, thinly sliced
5 baby corn, sliced
1 bunch of broccoli, cut into small florets
cooked white rice, for serving
Directions:
Start with chopping the broccoli into florets.
Thinly slice your scallions.
You can chop the baby corn coarsely or slice it up...up to you or whatever is faster right?
Thinly slice both the garlic and ginger.
Last but definitely super important, the chicken! You want to cut this into this strips so it cooks faster and is more bite sized.
Don't forget to wash your hands!
Let this hang out while you mix together a few ingredients into a sauce. Whisk together the sambal oelek, soy sauce, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. You can still see the pockets of cornstarch in my picture..make sure yours is all blended! I blended mine thoroughly before I added it to the dish...I know you were judging...
Alright, now in a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned..anywhere between 7-10 minutes.
Next, add ginger, garlic, scallions, broccoli, & baby corn. Stir this frequently, until broccoli is bright green. About 3 minutes or so...
Afterwards, you may want to add about a 1/4 cup of water, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Then, stir in soy sauce mixture and cook, until the sauce has thickened...should start to look something like this...
After all is coated, serve with the warm rice! Ta da!! Easy peasy right?
YUM!
Hope yours turns out just as delicious! This made us around 4 servings so we had this for lunch the next day! 30 minutes and two meals? YES PLEASE!
This is a great combination of chicken and broccoli! My kids will surely like this dish. Anyway, do you want more recipes for stir fry? Just Click Here!
