Chinese Chicken With Sweet Onions Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, dark soy and cornstarch. Whisk to blend well, and add the chicken to the sauce. Toss to evenly coat the chicken and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine the ketchup, stock, chili garlic sauce and sugar. Stir to combine and set aside until ready to use. Place a wok over high heat and add the vegetable oil to the pan. Swirl the wok to be sure to coat well with the oil. Add the ginger, garlic, green onions, dried chilies and jalapenos to the wok. Cook, stirring often until the garlic is fragrant and the chilies begin to brown, about 20 to 30 seconds. Add the chicken, bell peppers and onions to the pan and stir-fry until the chicken is no longer pink, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the sauce to the pan and bring to a boil, being sure to toss well in order to coat all the chicken and vegetables evenly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the sesame seeds, sesame oil and cilantro into the pan and toss to combine. Remove from the heat and serve on a platter with steamed white rice.

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, cold water, ginger, garlic, and black pepper in a bowl.
• Add chicken breasts to marinade and stir to coat.
• Pour the marinade and chicken into a 9x9-inch square baking dish.
• Cover and marinate chicken in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Bake chicken in marinade until meat is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 40 minutes, turning midway through cooking.

Steps:

• Cut chicken into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Clean bell pepper; cut into 1-inch chunks.
• Quarter onions and slice thinly.
• In wok, heat 2 tablespoons corn oil until it begins to smoke.
• Add ginger, cayenne and chicken.
• Stir-fry until chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 3 minutes.
• Remove to serving dish.
• Add remaining corn oil; heat.
• Add onions and pepper; stir-fry until onion is slightly transparent.
• Return chicken to pan; add soy and sherry.
• Stir 1 minute more.
• Sprinkle with sesame hot oil.
• Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sesame oil, peach preserves, mayonnaise, soy sauce, chili powder and onion powder, and season to taste with salt.
• Prepare the salad: Add the chicken to the dressing and toss.
• To fry the wonton wrappers, cut the squares into 1/2-inch strips, then cut those strips in half crosswise to shorten them. In a medium saucepan, heat an inch of oil over medium to 350 degrees, or until a wonton strip immediately bubbles when added. Carefully add the wonton strips to the hot oil and, stirring constantly with a slotted spoon, fry until puffy and golden, 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Transfer the crispy wontons to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
• Assemble the salad: Add the chopped romaine, scallions, cilantro, mint and half of the fried wontons to the bowl with the dressed chicken, and toss to combine. Season with salt as needed. Top with the remaining fried wontons and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Fill a large kettle with water and bring to a boil. (An 8-quart pot two-thirds filled with water works great for a 2 1/2 to 3-pound bird.)
• When the water boils, place the whole cleaned chicken into it. When the water stops boiling, take the chicken out.
• Cover the pot and when the water again boils, place the chicken back in the pot. Cover the pot and turn off the heat. Leave the chicken in the pot and the pot on the burner. After one hour, the chicken is done. Remove, and cool.
• Debone the chicken and tear the meat into small strips.
• Place them on a large platter.
• Clean the green onions, and split each onion down the middle. Then cut them up into 1/2-inch pieces and place over the mound of chicken.
• Pour the soy sauce and the sesame oil over the chicken.
• Pour the salt over the onions.
• When you are ready to serve, pour the hot peanut oil over onions and chicken.
• Toss like salad and serve.
