BROCCOLI 'N RED PEPPERS STIR FRIED



Broccoli 'n Red Peppers Stir Fried image

The key to a good stir fry is to have the veggies piping hot but still crisp. Cook this to your liking in terms of crispness. If you like a thicker sauce add 2 tsp of cornstarch to the stock. Great with Chicken. If you wish this suitable for vegetarrian diets use veggie stock in place of the chicken stock I have made this again in 2009. I modified the recipe by omitting the sesame seeds, used no oil just a light spray of "no oil." Not caring for a lot of sauce cut out the stock and used 4 tbsp of vermouth with 3 tbsp light soy - It worked.

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.

STIR-FRIED BROCCOLI STALKS AND FLOWERS, RED PEPPERS, PEANUTS AND TOFU



Stir-fried Broccoli Stalks and Flowers, Red Peppers, Peanuts and Tofu image

Probably most of you have used broccoli time and again in stir-fries. In this version I cut the stalks into 2-inch julienne, which is almost like adding a separate vegetable to the mix of broccoli flowers and red pepper (also cut in julienne). There's a lot of texture at play here - crisp-tender vegetables, crunchy peanuts and soft tofu. You can add a little spice if you want, but I've made the chili flakes optional.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner

Time 7m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 bunch broccoli
One 14-ounce box firm tofu, drained and cut in 1/4-inch thick, 2-inch by 3/4-inch dominoes
1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce (more to taste)
1 tablespoon Chinese cooking sherry (Shaoxing rice wine) or dry sherry
1/4 cup vegetable stock or water
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 to 3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 to 3 teaspoons minced ginger
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons peanut, canola, rice bran, sunflower, or grape seed oil
1/4 cup lightly roasted unsalted peanuts
1 red bell pepper, cut in 2-inch julienne
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Cut broccoli stems away from crowns. Peel stems, slice lengthwise, then cut in 2-inch julienne. Cut crowns in thin slices and collect all of the flower buds that fall off onto your cutting board in the same bowl with the sliced crowns.
  • Dry tofu slices on paper towels. In a small bowl or measuring cup combine soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, and stock or water. Combine salt and sugar in another small bowl and garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes in another. Have all ingredients within arm's length of your pan.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil by adding it to the sides of pan and swirling the pan, then add tofu and stir-fry until lightly colored, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • Swirl in remaining oil, add garlic, ginger and pepper flakes if using and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add peanuts, all of the broccoli - stems, crowns and flower buds - and red peppers, and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add salt, pepper, and sugar, toss together and add soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender, and return tofu to the wok. Add cilantro and stir together for about 30 seconds. Serve with additional soy sauce as desired and hot grains or noodles.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 15m

Yield Serves three to four

Number Of Ingredients 15

Salt to taste
1/2 pound broccoli florets, cut to the same size about 4 cups
3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast or tenders, preferably from a small producer of free-range chickens, cut into pieces 1/4-inch thick and 1 inch long
2 tablespoons finely shredded or minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chicken broth or water
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
1 large red bell pepper 6 to 8 ounces, cut in 2-inch julienne

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch, stirring the broccoli, for one minute until the water is coming back to a boil. Drain and shake out excess water. Lay the broccoli florets on a kitchen towel to drain further.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, 1 tablespoon of the ginger, 1 tablespoon of the rice wine or sherry, the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch, sugar and red pepper flakes. Stir together well, and place within arm's reach of your pan (refrigerate if not cooking right away).
  • Combine the broth, vinegar, remaining cornstarch and rice wine or sherry in a small bowl, and place within arm's reach of your pan. Have the remaining ingredients measured out and near the pan.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add the oil to the sides of the pan and tilt the pan to distribute. Carefully lay the chicken pieces in one layer in the wok or pan. Let the chicken sear undisturbed for one minute, then add the shallot, garlic and remaining ginger. Stir-fry with the chicken for one minute until the chicken is lightly colored but not quite cooked through. Add the red pepper and broccoli to the wok, and stir-fry one minute. Stir the broth mixture and add to the wok. Season with salt to taste. Stir-fry one to two minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli and peppers are crisp-tender. Serve with brown rice, white rice or noodles.
