Chicken Wonton Stir Fry Recipe
Description
This Chicken Wonton Stir Fry Recipe blends frozen mini chicken wontons with fresh vegetables including broccoli florets, sliced crimini mushrooms, and red bell peppers. The dish starts by blanching broccoli to maintain its bright color and crispness, followed by pan-frying the wontons until golden then steaming them briefly to finish cooking. Mushrooms and bell peppers are then sautéed with garlic and fresh ginger to deepen their flavors. A homemade stir fry sauce is added to coat all ingredients and create a cohesive dish. The combination yields a varied texture from the tender wontons, crunchy vegetables, and fragrant aromatics brought together in a lightly sauced stir fry ideal for a quick weekday dinner or light meal.
Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets small
- 4 teaspoons canola oil divided
- 1 package chicken wonton I used Trader Joe's Chicken Cilantro Mini Wontons, mini, about 32
- 6 ounces crimini mushroom sliced
- 1 red bell pepper cut into ¾-inch pieces
- 1 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger fresh, minced
- 6 tablespoons stir fry sauce homemade
Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until bright green and tender-crisp, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Drain and immediately rise with cold water to stop the broccoli from cooking further.
- Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the wontons and cook until the bottom of the wontons are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Pour ¼ cup water into the skillet, cover and steam the wontons for 2 minutes. Transfer the wontons to a large bowl. Wipe out the skillet with paper towel.
- Return the skillet to the heat and add 1 teaspoons oil. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to the wonton bowl.
- Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the skillet, then add the red bell pepper. Cook for 1 minute, then stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds.
- Pour in the stir fry sauce and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the broccoli, wontons and mushrooms (and any accumulated liquid). Toss to warm the wontons.
- Serve immediately.
