Ginger Chicken With Watercress Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper to taste; add to skillet and cook 5 minutes, turning once, until lightly browned. Drain off any fat; add broth, soy sauce, lime juice and ginger. Reduce heat and simmer chicken mixture for 20 minutes, until cooked through and the chicken is no longer pink in the center. With a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a plate; cover and keep warm.
• Cut each bunch of watercress in half; add to skillet along with the green onions and cilantro; cover and cook 2-3 minutes, until onions are tender-crisp.
• Divide the greens and broth mixture between 4 serving plates. Place 2 chicken thighs over top of greens, and serve with rice, if desired.

Steps:

• Cut each chicken thigh into three equal pieces. Place in a large bowl with the ginger, two-thirds of the oil, and salt and pepper. Cover and marinate for about 6 hours in the refrigerator.
• Heat a large, heavy-based frying pan and pour in the remaining oil. Fry until the meat is colored, about 2 minutes, then drain away the excess oil.
• Add the fish sauce, cover the pan with a lid, and steam until the sauce has dissolved, about 1 minute.
• Now add the prepared caramel to the pan and cook until the caramel has thickened and coated the chicken in a rich golden color, about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• To serve, arrange the chicken pieces on a serving platter and garnish with watercress.

Steps:

• Toss chicken with 1 tablespoon cornstarch. In a small bowl, whisk together broth, vinegar, sugar, garlic chili sauce, soy sauce, and remaining cornstarch; set aside.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Saute chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes; remove chicken and set aside. Add leek, jicama, bell pepper, ginger, and garlic; cook, stirring frequently until jicama is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Return chicken to pan along with watercress; cook until watercress has wilted, about 2 minutes.
• Whisk soy sauce mixture, then add to pan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

• Marinate chicken with salt, cornflour and rice wine, pepper and sesame oil.
• Bring chicken stock to boil in a saucepan.

Steps:

• Make dressing:
• In a small bowl whisk together dressing ingredients. Halve radishes lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Diagonally cut scallions into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Discard coarse stems from watercress. In a bowl chill radishes, scallions, watercress, and bean sprouts while preparing chicken.
• Prepare chicken:
• Pat chicken dry and season with salt. Cut chicken into 1/4-inch-thick strips, without removing skin. In a bowl stir together flour and cornstarch and add chicken, tossing until coated well. In a 12-inch skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and fry chicken in batches, separating pieces and turning them occasionally, until crisp and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer chicken as fried to paper towels to drain.
• In a bowl toss chicken with three fourths dressing. Toss vegetables with remaining dressing and combine with chicken.

Steps:

• Slice each chicken thigh into 2 or 3 large chunks, then put in a bowl with the ginger, garlic, chilli powder, half the coriander, lime juice and 1 tbsp of the oil. Stir well, then cover and leave in the fridge to marinate until ready to cook. For the best flavour, do this in the morning or, better still, the night before.
• Peel and quarter the onions, then very finely chop them in a food processor; for a curry you want the onion really fine. Heat the remaining oil in a wok or large frying pan, then add the onion and stir-fry for about 8 mins until soft. Stir in the turmeric and cook for 1 min more, stirring well.
• Tip in the chicken mixture with the marinade and cook over a high heat until the chicken changes colour. Pour in the coconut milk, add the chilli and stock, then cover and simmer for 20 mins until the chicken is tender. Stir in the remaining coriander, then serve with pilau rice, a bowl of mango chutney - we like Geeta's - and some poppadoms or naan bread.
