Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
- 4 chicken breast (boneless skinless)
- 6 cloves garlic (minced or grated (approx. 1 tablespoon))
- ½ tablespoon ginger (fresh grated (or ¼ teaspoon dry ginger powder))
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (Chinese cooking wine, optional see notes)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional (see notes))
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (optional (see notes))
Vegetables
- ½ medium cabbage (sliced into strips)
- 2 medium onions (sliced into strips)
- 2 medium carrots (very thinly sliced into rings)
- 2 cups bean sprouts (approx. half a bag)
- 1 green onion
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for serving (optional))
- 1 tablespoon oil (for cooking)
Teriyaki Sauce
- 1.5 cups Teriyaki sauce (store bought or homemade (my Teriyaki Sauce Recipe Linked Here))
Accompaniments
- cooked rice
Instructions
- Thinly slice chicken breast against grain. Place in large bowl and add all marinade ingredients. Marinate 10 minutes - overnight.
- If using homemade teriyaki sauce prepare teriyaki sauce according to recipe. If using store bought teriyaki sauce skip this step.
- Heat a large nonstick frying pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add marinated chicken to frying pan and spread chicken out into a thin layer. Press the chicken pieces flat down against the frying pan to get maximum contact with the pan for a good sear.
- Let the chicken fry 3-4 minutes without touching. Flip chicken pieces and fry another 3-4 minutes. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce over chicken and toss to coat. Remove chicken from pan and cover with tinfoil to keep warm while frying the vegetables.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the frying pan. Depending on the size of your frying pan add cabbage, onion and carrots to frying pan and fry 5-10 minutes until fully cooked, or fry the vegetables one at a time remove each vegetable when done.
- Once all vegetables have been cooked return all vegetables to frying pan, gently stir in the bean sprout, pour remaining teriyaki sauce over vegetables and stir. Simmer 2-3 minutes until beansprouts are cooked.
- To serve, add vegetables to the bottom of a serving platter with high edges. Top with teriyaki chicken, sliced green onions and sesame seeds (optional). Or serve in the same large frying pan used for cooking.
- Serve with rice.
Notes
- The secret to tender silky stir fried chicken is a method called ‘velveting’ which is done by mixing corn starch and baking soda to meat to tenderize it. After stir frying the meat will be tender, moist and have a velvety texture on the outside. This step is optional but highly recommended.
- Shaoxing Wine (Chinese Cooking Wine) can be found at local Asian grocer. If you cannot find this you can omit from the marinade.
