Best Chili Plum Stir Fry Chicken Recipes

CHINESE PLUM CHICKEN STIR FRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan until very hot.
• Whilst the oil is heating, place chicken in a bowl and sprinkle on the cornflour. Mix together with a fork or your hands until the chicken is coated.
• Now break the egg into the bowl with the chicken, and use a fork to mix everything together thoroughly. There should be no egg pooling at the bottom of the bowl. If there is, discard it.
• Next, sprinkle on the flour, followed by salt, pepper, garlic salt and paprika. Mix everything together with your hands. The chicken should be well-coated, but will also be sticky.
• Add the chicken to the wok and cook on a high heat for 6-7 minutes, turning two or three times during cooking, until well browned. You may need to cook in two batches (I find I can do it in one batch so long as there are no more than 3 chicken breasts).
• Once golden brown, add the plum slices, peppers and garlic. Cook, with the chicken for 2 minutes, stirring often, until the plum starts to soften.
• Now add all of the sauce ingredients to the wok, stir and bubble on a high heat until the sauce reduces by about a third (should take 2-3 minutes).
• Turn off the heat and divide between four bowls. Serve with boiled rice and top with spring onions and chilli flakes.

PLUM-GLAZED CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Add bok choy greens and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add ginger, 2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer bok choy mixture to colander, tent with foil and let drain.
• 2. Whisk plum sauce, soy sauce, vinegar and remaining chili-garlic sauce in small bowl. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in empty skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook half of the chicken until no longer pink about 3 minutes; transfer to plate and repeat with remaining oil and chicken.
• 3. Return first batch of chicken with juices to skillet. Stir in plum sauce mixture and scallions and cook until thickened about 1 minute. Transfer bok choy to platter and top with chicken. Serve with Asian noodles or white rice. ( I actually serve it this way because my family likes it this way...rice or noodles in bowl top with chicken mixture and then top with bok choy mixture). This is a very spicy dish!
