Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry


This is the recipe that I try to follow when I make stir-fry.  I like to use broccoli or asparagus, with whatever other vegetables I have on hand.

Mix in a small bowl:

  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Add and stir in:

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dry sherry
Set that bowl aside.
Prepare and set aside in another bowl:

  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped (or more)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced (or more)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Wash your vegetables, and chop them up into bite-sized pieces, making the slower-cooking ones a bit smaller than the ones that cook faster.
Cut your chicken into bite-sized pieces/strips.
Heat in a wok:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Stir-fry the green onion mixture about 10 seconds.
Add the chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes.
Add the vegetables and stir-fry about 1 minute.
Add the sauce and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.
