Hello everybody, it’s Drew, welcome to my recipe site. Today, I’m gonna show you how to make a distinctive dish, family-friendly stir fry. One of my favorites. For mine, I’m gonna make it a little bit tasty. This will be really delicious.
Heat about a tsp or two of sesame oil over high heat in a large skillet. Add garlic and sauté until golden. Add chicken, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and stir fry until no longer pink (you may need to lower the heat so garlic doesn't burn.) Remove chicken and garlic from pan. There's no need to order out!
Family-friendly stir fry is one of the most well liked of current trending meals in the world. It’s easy, it is quick, it tastes delicious. It is appreciated by millions every day. Family-friendly stir fry is something that I’ve loved my whole life. They’re fine and they look fantastic.
To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can cook family-friendly stir fry using 16 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Family-friendly stir fry:
- Take 1 cup brown basmati rice
- Prepare 2 tbsp sesame oil
- Take 4 spring onions, finely chopped,
- Make ready 1 inch cube of fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped or grated (frozen is also good as it is chopped already)
- Make ready 2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
- Make ready 1 red chilli, finely chopped (optional)
- Take 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into thin strips about 3 cm long
- Make ready 2 cups broccoli, finely sliced
- Take 150 g bag sugar snap peas
- Get 1 pepper, thinly sliced- we like red or orange!
- Make ready 2 small pak choi, finely sliced
- Get handful unsalted cashews
- Get soy sauce, plenty of it! I use about 3-4 tbsps - kikkomen is our fave!
- Prepare 1 tbsp mirin
- Make ready 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- Make ready 2 large chicken breasts, cut into chunks
Once those get a little translucent, throw in some minced garlic and chopped veggies. This Happy Family Stir Fry is one of those dishes that doesn't have an easily recognisable sauce, like say black bean sauce or honey soy. This stir fry has a chinese brown sauce, it is hard to describe but so delicious, it just tastes like Chinese takeout sauce! You can see it clinging to the carrot in the shot below.
Steps to make Family-friendly stir fry:
- If you have time (and remember to do it!) marinade the chicken chunks in extra soy sauce. Cover and put in the fridge for an hour or so (sometimes I marinade mine just while I'm preparing all the veg if I've forgotten to do it in advance!)
- Place the rice in a pan with 3 cups of boiling water. Bring to the boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Put the lid on and cook for approx. 15 - 20 mins depending on the cooking instructions on the packet. I tend to take the lid off 5 mins before the end of cooking. When nearly all the water is absorbed into the rice, I place the lid back on and remove from the heat and let it steam for a few minutes.
- Whilst the rice is cooking, heat the sesame oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok. Add the spring onions, garlic and ginger (and chilli if using) and fry for a few minutes, stirring every now and again.
- Add the chicken pieces and stir until coated in the oil. Cook on a medium heat with the lid on for approx 10 minutes, making sure the chicken is cooked all the way through (you will need to adjust your cooking time depending on how small or large you chunks are!)
- Once the chicken is cooked, add all your chopped veg and heat on a medium-high heat, stirring and tossing your veg continuously. Add your soy sauce, mirin and sweet chilli sauce and make sure all the veg is coated. You may need to add a little more soy sauce. Cook your veg for approx 5 mins.
- Once your veg are just cooked through (you want them to be on the crunchy side rather than floppy and too soft), add your cashew nuts and stir in for a minute or so.
- Once your rice is cooked, add it to your pan with the veg and chicken and mix together. If you prefer not to add rice you could use noodles, or just use more veg and cut the carbs out completely.
- Serve in warm bowls and eat with chopsticks.
