Chicken Stirfry

D'Agger

Hey guys,

Looking to make a chicken noodle stirfry tonight when I get home - just something simple

Just looking for some advice on what spices to add?

Was thinking I'll cook the chicken then add some crushed garlic, mixed peppers, black pepper and I was thinking paprika but said I'd look for suggestions.

A good sprinkling of Chinese 5-spice & a splash of soy or oyster sauce wouldn't go amiss... A fresh chopped chilli or very finely sliced ginger are good additions to a stirfy too...

Ginger has greatly gone up in my estimations! Love using it.
Soy and 5 spice go great together! Maybe a spoon of honey as well.

Thanks guys

Forgot to add that I'll probably fire in some brocolli and baby corn also

Soy sounds good alright must definitely pick some up tonight

My quick 'n' easy recipe is as follows:

1 clove of garlic
A good chunk of ginger
Red peppers
Green peppers
Onion
Chili flakes
Oyster sauce
A small splash of Rice Wine vinegar

I used to add soy sauce, but found it extremely salty. So the above is now a staple weekly recipe in our household.

Just fry up the chicken, add the garlic and ginger. Fry for a few minutes, add the peppers and onion, followed by the chili flakes and rice wine vinegar. about 4-5 minutes before you are ready to server, add the oyster sauce.

It's nice and spicy and very easy to make.

I didn't take a pic but I was very happy with how it turned out tbh - was really tasty

I browned the chicken then cooked it with:

x3 small cloves of garlic
Black Pepper
Ground Paprika
Soy Sauce
Red Pepper
Green Pepper
Yellow Pepper
Mushrooms

I boiled noodles seperately then plated up the chicken etc. before frying the noodles for two mins just to soak up the juices.

Turned out nicely but they didn't have ginger and a few other ingredients like Brocolli in the shop last night so I'll work on it and see if I can make it better than that

Thanks again for all the tips guys!

mine constantly changes, but my most popular is

thinly sliced chicken or beef
thin strips of carrots
thin strips of celery
sliced onions
garlic
sliced peppers
thinly sliced chilli
small florets of broccoli
small dash of soy sauce( but i do find it salty and will try the white wine vinegar as TD recomends above)
a good heaped teaspoon of curry paste
some ginger if it is lying around.

i generally heap on the veggies here to try and avoid having to much rice with it.

i do something similar with prawns
boil the rice in a pot
boil the florets of broccoli in a seperate pot for a few mins
dice the veggies and stirfry for a few mins, add the prawns, soy sauce and curry paste, fry for a further few mins.
drain the rice and broccoli.
add a small drop of water to the pan with the veggies and prawns add the rice and mix well ensuring that it is all coated with the liquid. just make sure that when you are adding the water to the pan that it only makes enough of sauce to cover the rice and veggies and not leave a pool of liquid at the bottom of the pan. you can also mix in the broccoli or serve it on the side.
wuallah, your own special fried rice with prawns and broccoli or more often better known as a no.63:D
