CHICKEN STIR FRY

I got a nice new bowl recently (it was yellow!) and I have been really fond eating out on it then. Ever since I started cooking, I use a nice plain flat plate on which I decorate the food I cooked on my vlogs. But after so many years, it is just now again that I’ve got to eat rice in a bowl.

With this bowl, I can already foresee that most of the dishes I’ll cook for the week are rice toppers. Rice toppers are really so convenient since you are able to scoop the viand and the rice at the same time. Super convenient right? And what I like with these dishes is that they are usually boneless ones. And with using the bowl, you wont be needing a fork! You can survive with just a spoon or chopsticks. I have so many reasons on turning back on eating on a bowl but that wouldn’t fit this article.

Since my love for rice toppers are really hyped lately, one of my favorite rice toppers is the chicken stir fry. As the name suggests, it is simply a stir fried chicken recipe. But of course, to prevent the dryness of the dish, I added a special sauce to it. The sauce I chose to add was made with salty, sour, sweet and umami ingredients so that there will be surely an interplay of flavors with every bite.

Aside from chicken stir-fry, you can opt to change the meat according to your preference. If you wanna know how to make some chicken stir fry, continue reading the recipe below. Happy cooking!

HOW TO COOK CHICKEN STIR FRY

Chicken stir fry is one of the easiest recipes you can make with the smallest energy to expend. This recipe is targetted to be a rice topper.

To start, choose your chicken meat. I usually use lean parts for this one and the boneless ones. Marinate the chicken with the spices and with cornstarch (will make it crispy for later).

While marinating the chicken, lets prepare the sauce. The sauce will be a major factor for the dish and will be the defining component. This sauce will be made by simply combining the seasonings and umami sauces. The combination of these ingredients are adjusted to the Filipino palate. Adding hot sauce is totally optional (I’m telling you, some spice kick will really make you drool!).

Now that the chicken and the sauce are prepared, lets do the cooking! Start by frying the chicken meat. Simply fry them in enough oil. When the crusts are starting to become brown and crispy, that’s when you’ll know they’re yumyum!

After you cook the chicken, don’t discard the oil. This is contains chicken flavor and all the spices added to it. Let us use this as the oil base in sauteing the other ingredients. Once you’re done sauteing the other ingredients, bring the chicken back to the pan and then pour the yummy sauce. Gently toss until all ingredients are coated with the sauce. Don’t forget to have a final taste and season with salt and pepper.

I like my chicken stir fry with some bit of crunch so I usually add some freshly chopped spring onions. You can also add some fresh parsley if you like.

Now that the chicken stir fry is done, grab your bowl and lets top it on some hot steaming rice! Enjoy!
