LIGHTER SESAME CHICKEN



Lighter Sesame Chicken image

Say "open sesame" to a Chinese-restaurant classic that's no longer a guilty pleasure. This chicken is sauteed in a little oil instead of deep fried. The less-sweet sauce has fewer calories than a standard recipe, and, nutritionally, brown rice beats white.

VELVETED CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND BOK CHOY



Velveted Chicken Stir-Fry with Shiitake Mushrooms and Bok Choy image

To up your stir-fry game, here's an old-school technique called "velveting." It's a process that makes your proteins super tender. It's that "slippery" mouthfeel that is synonymous with Chinese takeout. This is a great dish to celebrate the lunar new year, autumn festival or any occasion. You can apply this velveting method to any stir-fry.

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, sliced into bite-size pieces
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons canola oil or other oil for high-heat cooking
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons canola or other oil for high-heat cooking
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon thinly sliced peeled fresh ginger
5 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced 1/2-inch thick, or 1 ounce sliced rehydrated dried shiitakes
12 ounces baby bok choy, trimmed of ends and cut into thirds
1/2 cup red bell pepper strips
2 scallions, sliced into 1-inch lengths on the bias
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons mushroom soy sauce
1 teaspoon chicken powder
Pinch white pepper

Steps:

  • For the velveted chicken: Place the chicken in a medium bowl. Add the cornstarch, baking soda, oil, 2 teaspoons of water and a pinch of salt and stir into the chicken until well incorporated. Let marinate at room temperature while you do the knife work for the vegetables. Or cover the chicken and let marinate in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For the stir-fry: When ready to cook, bring about 4 inches water to a boil in a 4- to 6-quart saucepan over high heat. Add the marinated chicken, stirring gently and constantly for about 2 minutes. The chicken will start out pink, turn opaque and white, then float to the top. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon or spider and reserve until it's time to stir-fry. You can also hold the pre-cooked chicken for a few days in the refrigerator.
  • Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Swirl in the oil then immediately stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Stir in the mushrooms. The mushrooms will sear then start to release their moisture. Cook, stirring every 20 seconds, until the mushrooms look soft and almost ready to eat, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the baby bok choy and bell peppers and stir-fry until they just start to soften and pick up some color, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chicken, scallions, oyster sauce, mushroom soy sauce, chicken powder and scallions and work all the sauces into the stir-fry, about 30 seconds. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Give the dish a light dusting with white pepper right before serving.

Cashew Chicken with Snap Peas image

Sometimes you just get a craving for a takeout favorite. While most restaurants won't include a vegetable in their version of cashew chicken, quick cooking snap peas adds a light crunch and fresh flavor that cuts through the garlicky, sweet and tangy sauce.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup long-grain white rice
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, diced
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed
1/2 cup roasted unsalted cashews

Steps:

  • Cook the rice as the label directs. Set aside off the heat, 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 teaspoons soy sauce in a large bowl; set aside 5 minutes. Stir together the hoisin sauce, remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the vinegar, sugar, ginger, garlic, remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a separate bowl until smooth; set aside.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring once or twice, until golden and almost fully cooked through, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving any drippings behind. Add the snap peas to the skillet and cook until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cashews to lightly toast, about 1 minute.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the hoisin sauce mixture. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken and vegetables, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Divide the rice among plates or shallow bowls. Top with the chicken mixture and sauce.
