MOM'S CHINESE WALNUT CHICKEN



Mom's Chinese Walnut Chicken image

This is a dish my mom has been making forever. It is very tasty and appeals to all. We only serve this dish occasionally as it is pretty high salt -- although it is probably lower in sodium than anything you would get at a Chinese restaurant. You should adjust the garlic and ginger to your taste as my mom has never measured how much she uses. We usually serve this with brown rice and a couple of vegetables (a green and an orange so that the table is aesthetically pleasing).

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 pinch sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
1 cup walnuts, chopped or broken into large pieces
3/4 cup water, warm
1/2 cup soy sauce

Steps:

  • Make sure to start your rice before starting the Walnut Chicken!
  • Cut chicken into half-inch pieces.
  • Mix 3 T cornstarch, 2 T of the oil and 2 T soy sauce in the bottom of a large bowl (add more soy sauce if needed, until the cornstarch is smooth and semi-liquid).
  • Add the sugar, garlic and ginger powder and mix.
  • Add the chicken and stir to coat. Put aside.
  • Heat 1 T oil in a large frying pan. Fry the walnuts until they are golden brown. It takes a while to get the nuts up to temperature, but then they brown very rapidly.
  • Move the walnuts to a separate bowl.
  • Put the chicken in the heated frying pan and stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the pieces are separated.
  • Add the nuts to the chicken and stir-fry for a couple more minutes.
  • Add the warm water and 1/2 C of soy sauce to the pan and stir to make a sauce.
  • If more sauce is desired, just add additional water and heat.
  • Serve hot with rice.

CHICKEN WITH WALNUTS, BELL PEPPERS (CAPSICUM) AND GREEN ONIONS



Chicken With Walnuts, Bell Peppers (Capsicum) and Green Onions image

Twenty-plus years ago, a sister introduced me to this recipe -- from a 1977 Better Homes and Gardens Oriental Cookbook. The original version (which my sister follows faithfully) is very similar to Kimke's Recipe #31632. Here is my version, which I think is different enough to be sent in and enjoyed. It is saucier. Also, our past exchange students want to refer to my version.

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/4 lbs chicken breasts, diced into one-inch pieces (I have made this with chicken thigh meat and it works fine)
2 large green bell peppers, diced into one-inch pieces (red peppers are okay if that is what you have)
10 green onions, chopped into one-inch slices (use white and green bits)
1 1/4 cups walnuts, halves broken in half again (or more)
9 tablespoons soy sauce
6 tablespoons dry sherry or 6 tablespoons water
5 teaspoons cornstarch (cornflour)
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped finely
1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
1 teaspoon sugar (use more if you like sweet)
2 -4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Chop chicken, walnuts, bell peppers, green onions and ginger. I sometimes do this in the morning (or the night before), and put the components in the refrigerator, in covered containers.
  • If you chop ahead of time, store chicken on its own, store onions and peppers together, store walnuts on their own, and store ginger on its own. If you chop ahead of time, take all items out of fridge at least two hours before final cooking.
  • For sauce, put cornstarch into bowl. Stir in soy sauce. Stir in Chinese cooking wine (or substitutes), ginger, chilli and sugar. Don't add water yet. Set aside.
  • Do all cooking in a wok if you can.
  • Saute bell peppers and onions in two tablespoons oil for two minutes. Stir frequently. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Saute walnuts in same pan for one minute (don't add more oil yet). Stir frequently. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Saute half the chicken pieces in same pan until cooked (first add two tablespoons of oil). Stir frequently. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Saute other half of chicken pieces until cooked (probably don't add more oil). Stir frequently.
  • Add first set of chicken pieces to second set of pieces.
  • When chicken is hot, add soy sauce mixture.
  • Pour water into pan used for soy sauce mixture. Swirl in pan and add to chicken.
  • Stir well.
  • When mixture thickens (just a bit) add vegetables.
  • Stir thoroughly and warm through. Might take a minute, covered.
  • Serve over rice.
