Best Ginger Plum Chicken Stir Fry 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.

• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring once or twice, until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 30 seconds. Add the snow peas, broccolini and half of the scallions; cook, stirring, until the vegetables start softening, about 2 minutes. Stir the chicken broth mixture and pour it into the skillet. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Divide the rice or quinoa among bowls and top with the stir-fry and remaining scallions. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve with more soy sauce.

• Return the chicken to the skillet and pour over the sauce. Stir everything together and cook until the sauce is very thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Add a little water if needed to make it more saucy.
• Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice. Garnish with some sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Enjoy.
