* 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
* 2 cups snow peas, trimmed
* 2 cups bean sprouts
* 2 cups cooked basmati or jasmine rice
* 1 Tbs. toasted sesame oil

Sesame oil is heated rapidly in a wok. 30 seconds should be given for the ginger and half of the garlic to bloom. The chicken should cook rapidly after being added and tossed around. Add a generous amount of salt and pepper for seasoning. Cook for a further minute or two after adding 1 Tbs. mirin. Chicken should be taken out of the wok and put aside.
Add the onions back to the wok. until they begin to soften, cook for three minutes. Add the remaining ginger and garlic, then bloom for another 30 seconds. Bean sprouts and snow peas should be added. Add a generous sprinkle of the soy sauce and mix well. Re-toss after adding the red pepper flakes that have been crushed. More mirin can be added for flavor. Add the lime juice, cilantro, and chicken back to the pan. Combine by tossing. Once more taste, and if additional soy sauce is required, add it.
Serve alongside rice. Get to bed early.
Chicken and Bean Sprouts
This is the kind of quick, easy dish I like to make with chicken the most. This recipe of Chicken with Bean Sprouts is flavorful, fast, and healthful.
It goes without saying that Chinese takeout is very popular, but you can cook some at home very easily.
I frequently purchase chicken without knowing what I’m going to make with it. However, if you do, you may make this dish with confidence. Also, remember to try my Szechuan chicken dish.
I frequently purchase bean sprouts to add to my delicious beef bowl and chicken pho recipes.
I purchase a few bunches of cilantro each week to ensure that I always have some on hand. I put it in a glass jar with a little water to keep it fresh all week, and I cover it loosely with a plastic bag.
The other things I usually keep on hand are some fresh limes and some shredded carrots for the countless dishes I add them to. Fresh citrus is always a wonderful idea.
My love for Asian cuisine is unwavering. I enjoy shopping at Asian markets for unique flavors and ingredients. These grocery stores’ colorful and diverse selection of items truly bring a lot to the table.
The secret to this dish isn’t one thing, it’s how all the flavors mingle together. That being said, sesame oil really adds a nutty flavor and aroma that is irresistible. I love experimenting with its many varieties. You have toasted sesame oil which is dark in color and best for flavoring dishes. Then there’s refined sesame oil which has a lighter color, neutral flavor, and a high smoke point which makes it an excellent candidate for stir fry. Finally, there’s unrefined sesame oil which is best for salads and dressings. This variety has a light amber color and a slightly nutty flavor.
Because of its exceptionally nutritional qualities, sesame oil is known as the “Queen” of oils. Sesame oil is excellent for skin because it has anti-inflammatory characteristics, and veggies cooked in it have all the vitamins and minerals your body need. Additionally, it is beneficial for blood circulation and metabolism. And it bears mentioning again: It has an extraordinary flavor!
But first, let’s examine the procedures required to prepare this delectable chicken and bean sprout meal.
Start by slicing your chicken into strips or bits as desired.
Next, chop your carrots into Juliennes. They are even available pre-sliced at the grocery shop.
Sesame oil should be added to a skillet, and the chicken should be sauteed for a few minutes, but not until it is fully done.
Mix together chicken broth, soy sauce, crushed red pepper, and cornstarch. Pour it into the pan with your chicken. Simmer until the chicken reads 165°.
Add in bean sprouts and carrots so they get warm. Turn off the heat, give it a stir and it’s all ready.
Serve and top with cilantro and lime juice. For extra spice add in sriracha or hot mustard.
Add in any vegetable you like to ensure it’ll be your family’s favorite dish!
Could I use bouillon in place of broth?
Yes, of course. Add-in the amount of liquid and then add chicken bouillon to taste.
What is a julienne cut?
The vegetable is chopped into long, matchstick-sized strips using a julienne technique. The julienne peeler is this. I use one that functions similarly to a potato peeler. Alternately, use a knife to thinly slice the vegetables.
Add three chopped celery stalks to the recipe to make it more reminiscent of American chow mein. This is not the noodle version of chow mein or lo mein. But if that’s what you want, just mix in some cooked Chinese egg noodles, spaghetti noodles, or something comparable, and you’ll have made a dish that resembles the perennially well-liked take-out dish.
Add some chili paste for flavor and spice, and some crushed red pepper if you prefer it a little spicier.
Add additional Asian oyster sauce or hoisin sauce if you like your food a bit sweeter.
