Spicy Oriental Stir Fry Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a small, dry saucepan. When the saucepan is hot, add the Szechuan peppercorns and, shaking the pan constantly, toast until the peppercorns are fragrant. Remove from the heat. Place the peppercorns in a spice grinder and grind. Season the chicken pieces with the peppercorns and salt and set aside. Heat a large wok over high heat. When the wok is hot, add the oil. Add the ginger, garlic and onions and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken, broccoli, peppers, shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, sherry and chile paste. Stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are cooked, but al dente, about 5 minutes. Add the scallions and stir-fry for 1 more minute.

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, chile paste, sesame oil, crushed red pepper, garlic, cornstarch, and ginger together in a bowl.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine sherry, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and cornstarch; stir to blend well.
• In a wok or large frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat.
• Add chicken and stir-fry 2 minutes until meat turns white.
• Add red pepper, scallions, mushrooms, and water chestnuts; stir-fry 2 minutes.
• Stir sauce and add to wok; stir over heat until sauce thickens.
• Serve over rice.
• **Note: This is the original recipe, but sometimes I like to add different veggies like celery, broccoli, snow peas, etc.

Steps:

• Assemble vegetables. Meanwhile, bring broth and water to boil, add rice and cover. Reduce heat to low and simmer 20 minutes (or follow instructions on box, omitting salt and butter).
• Whisk together sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
• In medium wok or large skillet, heat vegetable and sesame oils under medium-high setting. Add carrots and stir-fry 1-2 minutes. Add snow peas and stir-fry 1-2 minutes. Add pepper and onion (at the same time) and stir-fry 1-2 minutes. Add meat substitute or meat and stir-fry 1-2 minutes.
• Pour sauce over vegetable mixture. Heat to boiling while stirring, and simmer under reduced heat until until vegetables are crisp-tender (about 1-2 minutes or more).
• Spoon over hot rice, sprinkle with scallions and serve.

Steps:

• Place broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 5 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the chicken, green onions, and garlic until the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
• Stir the hoisin sauce, chile paste, and soy sauce into the skillet; season with ginger, red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the chicken stock and simmer about 2 minutes. Mix in the steamed broccoli until coated with the sauce mixture.
