Authentic and flavorful Hunan chicken stir-fry, reminiscent of your favorite Chinese takeout, in no time at all.
Ingredients:
  • 6 dried red pepper pods
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chile oil
  • 1.5 teaspoons jarred minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 1.5 cups Chicken, broilers or fryers, breast, meat only, raw
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 0.5 cup carrot strips
  • 0.5 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 0.5 cup coarsely chopped onion
  • 0.5 cup baby corn, drained
  • 0.5 cup sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 0.5 cup sliced bamboo shoots, drained
  • 2 cups warm cooked rice
Instructions:
  • Combine pepper pods, soy sauce, green onion, hoisin sauce, chili oil, garlic, sugar, ginger, and salt in a bowl to create a flavorful sauce; set aside.
  • Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Saute chicken until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove chicken and drain on a plate. Dispose of the oil after it cools.
  • Pour water into the wok and bring to a rapid boil. Toss in carrots, bell pepper, onion, corn, water chestnuts, and bamboo shoots. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the vegetables to a bowl. Drain any excess water from the wok.
  • Pour the sauce back into the wok, stir over medium heat, then add chicken and vegetables, making sure everything is well coated. Remove pepper pods and serve the dish over cooked rice.
