hi everyone and welcome back to my channel happy new year if it's your first time here
today please consider subscribing to my channel i will be really grateful for that i'm so sorry
i've been mia december was one of those trying months for me i was super busy there was way too
much going on in the background and i just knew i had to take a break for my own mental health
but i am back now bigger and better so today's recipe is this beautiful chicken stir fry recipe
it is so easy to make tastes absolutely lovely and without further ado let's get on with it
so for this recipe i will be using some boneless chicken and here i've got some chicken thighs you
can also use breast if you prefer and this i will be seasoning with some garlic powder black pepper
smoked paprika onion powder
chicken seasoning salt and some corn flour and at this time i'm just going to mix
thoroughly and after mixing thoroughly i will be covering this with some cling film
and i will leave this to marinate for about 30 minutes you can do longer if you prefer
now these are the ingredients that i will be combining together to make my slurry that's
the sauce and i will quickly run through them so here i've got some dark soy sauce light soy sauce
oyster sauce chinese cooking wine tomato ketchup now for this one i know a lot of people do not
like to cook with tomato ketchup you can also use tomato paste but i should warn you that
it's going to be a bit tangy but you definitely can use tomato paste if you're not comfortable
using ketchup and i've also got some sweet chili sauce which i'm using in place of sugar a lot of
stir-fry recipes contain sugar if you're not aware i know some people aren't comfortable
using sugar but that's fine you can also use honey but you definitely will be needing something sweet
you know to help balance these the salt in this recipe and i've also got some chicken bouillon
cubes some cornflour and sesame oil and quickly i will be combining all the ingredients together
and i should mention at this time that you don't have to use every single thing that i've used in
this recipe you can pick and choose whichever one you want to use like um you don't have to use the
two soy sauce you can use either the dark or the light soy sauce you don't have to use both and
you can also skip the chinese cooking wine if you haven't got it you can use some rice whine
or some vinegar that's fine also and also you can use just salt instead of the chicken cubes
so here are the ingredients for my stir-fry i've got some bell peppers
here i've got some yellow and red you can also use green if you prefer but i prefer
these two colors and also i've got some red chili you can also use green chili or some chili flakes
minced garlic minced ginger spring onions and lastly some chopped
onions so here i've got a pan on medium heat and when it heats up i will add some vegetable
oil you can use any other type of oil that you prefer and then i will go in with my marinated
chicken
and at this point i'm going to fry the chicken until it is fully cooked
and brown on all sides and you will need to do this on medium to high heat
please don't be tempted to add too much oil to your chicken as long as your pan
is absolutely nonstick you should be fine with about two to three tablespoons of oil
so i'm just going to leave this to fry on one side and then i can flip them over later
and after about six to seven minutes of frying this is what it looks like
the perfect color and texture for stir-fry the corn flour has given it this beautiful
brown coating and at this time i'm just going to transfer them into a bowl
and now the pan is back on the heat with the residual oil if you haven't got enough
oil you can add some more and at this time i will go in with some minced ginger and garlic
and this i will fry for about two minutes please keep an eye on it so you do not end up burning
the garlic especially otherwise the stir-fry is going to taste really bitter and after two minutes
i will be going in with some chopped onions and then i will fry this again for another two minutes
and after two minutes i will go in with my chili and my chopped bell peppers at this time
you need to turn your heat up too high because everything you do from here has to be on high heat
otherwise your vegetables are going to sweat out too much moisture and you won't like it
so if you want crunchy vegetables you need to turn your heat to high
and now i'm going to fry my vegetables for about 2 to three minutes
please do keep an eye on it otherwise it's going to burn just keep an eye on it please
and after that i'm going to go in with my slurry
now if you're someone who likes your stir-fry with quite a lot of sauce what you can do is
double the ingredients for the slurry and this will give you some more sauce oh another thing
you can do is to add some chicken broth or chicken stock to the slurry and this
will sort of loosen it up and also give you some more sauce but i prefer mine quite crunchy so i
i don't like too much sauce on it so i'm just going to stick with what i've got and this i'm
going to mix thoroughly now and then i will leave to cook for about two to three minutes
and after two to three minutes i will be going in with the cooked chicken
as well as the spring onions
and this i'm just going to combine thoroughly and then leave to simmer on low heat for about
a minute and for those who prefer that stir fry with loads of vegetables some
some other vegetables you can use for this are broccoli brussel sprouts green beans
or even carrots so feel free to mix and match your vegetables
and after simmering for one minute this is what it looks like absolutely beautiful incredible
taste the aroma is absolutely gorgeous you really don't want to miss out on this recipe
it is amazing i know i said this with loads of my recipes but there's i had like three
plates of rice the first day i made it yes i'm not even exaggerating it was that good
