quick stir fry

Recipe video above. This is just about the minimum ingredients you can use to make a great stir fry that still really stacks up to real Chinese take out! Extra saucy is how I like this - because broccoli florets have a tendency to hold lots of sauce but I still want some to soak my rice.Shortcut using Charlie - see Note 5 (the sauce in this recipe is basically Charlie!).

Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry (extra sauce!)

tbsp cornflour/cornstarch

soy sauce (, all purpose

Chinese cooking wine

tbsp oyster sauce ((Note 3))

tsp sesame oil

white pepper ((sub black))

tbsp oil (, peanut, vegetable

onion (, sliced)

garlic (, finely minced)

500 grams/1 lb chicken thighs

broccoli

water

Broccoli: steam or boil using preferred method until cooked to your taste (it won&#039;t cook any further in the stir fry). I usually microwave steam 3 minutes on high. Drain well.

Sauce: Mix cornflour and soy sauce, then mix in remaining ingredients.

Tenderising option: Consider tenderising chicken breast using this method. (Not needed for thigh)

Cook: Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and onion, stir for 10 seconds until garlic starts to go golden.

Then add chicken and cook for 2 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked through.

Add broccoli, Sauce and water. Stir well and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the Sauce thickens and becomes glossy, and coats the ingredients.

Serve over rice!

This healthy Sesame Chicken recipe features chicken breast bites in a sweet, savory, tangy, and slightly spicy sauce topped with sesame seeds and green onions.

Sesame Chicken Recipe

½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast

salt

black pepper

ginger powder

arrowroot

sesame oil

avocado oil (divided)

red pepper flakes

garlic (about 4 cloves)

white rice

scallions (sliced)

soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)

monk fruit sweetener (coconut sugar, honey

tomato paste

rice vinegar

sesame seeds (plus more for garnish)

ginger

filtered water

(For other uses, see Arrowroot (disambiguation).) Arrowroot is a starch obtained from the rhizomes (rootstock) of several tropical plants, traditionally Maranta arundinacea, but also Florida arrowroot from Zamia integrifolia, and tapioca from cassava (Manihot esculenta), which is often labelled as arrowroot. Japanese arrowroot, Pueraria lobata, also called kuzu, is used in similar ways.

Avocado oil is an edible oil pressed from the fruit of the Persea americana (avocado). As a food oil, it is used as an ingredient in other dishes, and as a cooking oil. It is also used for lubrication and in cosmetics, where it is valued for its supposed regenerative and moisturizing properties.

avocado oil

Black pepper

red pepper

sesame seed

Combine cubed chicken with salt, pepper, ginger, arrowroot, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. I like to lay it flat on a cutting board and sprinkle the oil first and mix. Then I evenly distribute the powders and seasonings and mix well to evenly combine.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. When hot add half of the avocado oil and let it heat up for 1 minute.

Add half of the chicken in an even layer to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway until golden brown. It’s best to cook in batches not to overcrowd the pan so chicken can crisp up. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate. Repeat with remaining oil and chicken and set aside.

Prepare the sauce by mixing the soy sauce, sugar, tomato paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and ginger together in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.

Make the slurry by combing the tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot flour and water together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Add 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil to the pan along with red chili pepper flakes and garlic. Cook 30 seconds, stirring the pan frequently, until fragrant.

Add half of the sauce to the pan and continue cooking for 1 minute, stirring the bottom of the pan frequently.

Return the chicken back into the pan and toss to combine. Add the remainder of the sauce into the pan. Slowly drizzle in the arrowroot slurry and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Serve with cooked rice and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Very tasty! I used Splenda as the sweetener and will use honey next time.

The whole family loved it! I had to promise to double the recipe next time.

Excellent!  Great flavor.  Definitely on the ‘go to meal’ list.

This was literally so good. I made two batches (one with chicken, one with super firm tofu) and added broccoli. Total chef’s kiss!

Really good! Tastes like a dish from a Chinese restaurant. So good!

this was good.  served with steamed broccoli and cauliflower rice.  took a lot of time but worth it.  I'm not a big fan of the tomato paste so may leave that out next time.

Loved this recipe! May be one of my new favorites.

Made as written using honey as the sweetener. Batch cooking the chicken took extra time but got my chicken nice and browned/crispy in my cast iron pan. This is so delicious and flavourful!! I will definitely be making this again ❤️

This was excellent!! I used honey for the sweetener.

Does the carb count include the rice or is it for the chicken alone?

This was fantastic! I think it's my second favorite just behind General Tso's. It's just me so I was able to meal prep it for the week. Used coconut sugar and monk fruit for sweetener. Now I have a new bottle of avacado oil so need more recipes to cook with it. Haha. 
Thanks for the recipe Gina! Any idea what the macros would be without the rice?

This is wonderful! I got positive comments from the whole family. I made it as written except for the avocado oil - substituted peanut oil because that's what I had. Cutting the chicken small and cooking several batches took extra time and doing the sauce and flurry was a little fussy but entirely worth it. I'll be making this again.

Just made it and it’s delicious! 
Used maple syrup for sweetness, apple cider vinegar and marinara because I didn’t have rice vinegar or tomato paste. Omitted the pepper flakes. 
Still tastes FANTASTIC!

Recipe video above. This quick dinner using beef mince channels Thai Chilli Basil stir fry vibes (but, no basil and not spicy) with poke bowl versatility (but, no pricey raw fish!). I use bottled sweet chilli sauce for simplicity instead of fresh chilli, garlic, sugar and thickener, and it works a treat. Plus, it&#39;s more kid friendly because you can barely taste the spice.The key is the Sweet Chilli Drizzle Sauce! It adds flavor to the beef, rice, and veggies (raw or cooked). Jumble it all up and dig in!

Thai Sweet Chilli Beef Bowls

roasted cashews (, unsalted (or peanuts, Note 1))

tbsp canola oil (,

beef

onion (, finely chopped)

tbsp roughly chopped coriander/cilantro leaves ((sub green onion))

tbsp sweet chilli sauce ((I use Trident))

tbsp fish sauce ((Note 2))

tbsp rice vinegar ((sub cider vinegar))

tbsp dark soy sauce ((Note 3))

garlic garlic

tbsp sweet chilli sauce

tbsp lime juice

tsp fish sauce ((Note 2))

batches jasmine rice (or other plain rice of choice)

Mix each sauce. Toast cashews, sauté onion + garlic 1 min, then cook beef. Add sauce, cook until reduced/caramelised, serve over rice with veg on side. Spoon over drizzle sauce, top with cashews and coriander.

Abbreviated recipe

Drizzle sauce - Mix the ingredients in a bowl, set aside.

Stir fry sauce - Mix the ingredients in a separate bowl, set aside.

Toast cashews - Heat a large non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add the cashews and toast for 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board then roughly chop once cool.

Cook beef - Heat the oil in the same pan over high heat. Add the garlic and onion, cook for 1 minute. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, until you no longer see raw meat.

Sauce it! Add the cooking sauce and cook well, stirring, until it mostly reduces down so the sauce caramelises on the beef, about 3 - 4 minutes. (Don&#39;t shortcut this step, it&#39;s where the flavour is!)

Serve the beef over rice with a side of veg. Douse everything with the sauce, top with cashews and coriander (fresh chilli wouldn&#39;t go astray either). To eat, jumble everything up then dig in!

Full recipe:

Great summer recipe - the coriander and cucumber really   + drizzle sauce really makes the whole thing shine!

This is so delicious, and easy.  We only had to buy the ground beef and oyster sauce; had everything else on hand.  Served it over some cooked brown rice I had on hand, sautéed with red onion &amp; mushrooms.  Stirred in some frozen green peas for more veg.  Made the quick pickled carrots from this site for serving, along with some finely shredded cabbage.  This is a nice change from what one would normally make with a pound of ground beef.

Every single recipe I've made from this website turns out perfectly, making it my go-to when I'm looking for a recipe.

Thank you Nagi!

Love when I try a new meal and then can't stop thinking about it for several hours afterwards.  This was really tasty - even got through my post COVID loss of taste.  Next time will double the drizzle sauce though, there was almost fisticuffs for the last dregs in the bowl

Absolutely delish, I made it with some finely chopped rare roast beef , Stunning.

My first time cooking from this website. The Thai Sweet Chili was good but too sweet for me. Made the recipe exactly as written. Will try another from this site but this one wasn’t for me.

Made this last night - very tasty. The only comment from the masses (in between all the lip-smacking sounds as they chowed down) was that slightly more drizzle sauce would have been nice. Note to self, increase the drizzle sauce quantity next time.

It's good, but has more salt, sugar and fat than I'm supposed to eat... It's a nice change from the usual asian sauce. Hah, Dozer doesn't discrimate between beef wellington and doo! He should bury doo, not eat it 🐈 (meooow).

What a flavour bomb!
Delish - immediate family favourite!

This easy Ground Beef and Broccoli stir-fry is perfect when you need a quick weeknight dinner!

Ground Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

honey

garlic (minced)

cornstarch

beef (93% lean)

½ medium yellow onion (chopped)

sesame seeds

scallions (sliced on the bias)

rice (or cauliflower rice,

It has a rich onion taste and is fit for food dishes like French onion soup. Yellow onions are typically available throughout the year. This onion is higher in sulphur than the white onion, which gives it a stronger, more complex flavour. A dozen varieties of yellow onion are grown, following the time of year....

yellow onion

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.

Add the sesame oil to a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is just about cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Pour in the reserved sauce, stir to combine, and cook for 1 minute. Add the broccoli and cook for 1 more minute.

Divide mixture evenly among 4 plates or shallow bowls, layering rice first, if using.

Top each with sesame seeds and scallions.

Unique stir fry with broccoli &amp; hamburger in my deep stir fry pan

literally so good. best beef and broc i've ever had

My son made this for dinner he did have to substitute the sesame oil with olive oil. It was easy for him to make and tasted great!!

I use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce and use about 1/4 - 1/3 cup instead of 1/2. And no corn starch. This is one of my go-to recipes. So good!

Flavor is delicious but it was too salty for me..

Love the idea but It’s soooo salty in reality. We could barely eat it. I added extra honey at the end hoping to save it. Next time I’ll use 1/4c soy sauce.

This recipe is easy and delish! Even my picky son asked if this could “be added into the regular rotation” of meals!!

This recipe was just okay for me. I followed others suggestions using 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce (good call). I think using grass-fed waygu ground beef gave it an off taste. I needed to add Japanese BBQ sauce to balance it out. I will try again with regular ground beef.

Where has this recipe been all my life! So quick and easy and delicious! My husband was a huge fan (as was I)! We will definitely be adding this to the rotation. Note that I did substitute coco aminos for the soy sauce. Yum!

Delicious and easy. My husband asked that we make the recipe part of our regular dinner rotation. Thank you, Gina!

Super easy and quick - not to mention delicious! 
Adding this to my regular rotation!

Quick and easy recipe! This is why I love SkinnyTaste! She also has the same palette as I do regarding flavors and seasoning. 
I added red bell pepper at the start.

Very easy and tasty. I added mushrooms and peppers.

Super easy and very tasty! I meal prepped this for the week.
I halved the sauce and it still tasted fantastic! I didn't have several of the ingredients but the sauce + sesame oil really make this dish :)

I did what others suggested and halved the soy sauce.  I used brown sugar instead of honey and added chili flakes and sesame seeds at the end.  Very good.

Simple chicken and cabbage stir fry recipe loaded with juicy chicken slices, crisp tender cabbage, and a garlicky savoury sauce. Made with simple ingredients and seasonings you probably already have at home. It’s fast, satisfying, and way better than takeout!

Chicken and Cabbage Stir Fry

Chicken breast (boneless skinless chicken breast

Cabbage

Garlic

Sesame oil

Cooking oil (Neutral oil)

tsp Soy sauce

tsp Cornstarch

¼ tsp Baking soda

tbsp Soy sauce (Regular/all-purpose)

tsp Dark soy sauce (added

tbsp Oyster sauce

Start by slicing your chicken and mixing it with soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and a pinch of baking soda. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. This helps the chicken stay tender and juicy.

Marinate the Chicken

Next, chop the cabbage, discard the thick white parts and cut it into 2-inch squares. Mince some garlic cloves. Separate the spring onions&#39; white part and green part. Cut the white part into thin slices and slice the green part into 2-inch pieces. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl.

Prep the Veggies and Aromatics

Heat some oil in a large hot pan or wok and stir-fry the cabbage first. Stir just until slightly softened but still crunchy. Remove from the pan and set it aside. 

Saute the Cabbage First

In the same pan, drizzle more oil, sear the chicken in a single layer, then flip and add minced garlic and white part of spring onions.

Sear the Chicken

Once it’s about 80% cooked, add the seasonings, regular soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Toss the cabbage back in the pan. Pour in the slurry and stir until everything’s well coated and glossy. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil, and that’s it!

Add Sauces and Combine

Toni this was a fantastic 10++++ recipe! The flavors were awesome! I made this exactly how you had it posted. Thank you for sharing your fabulous recipes!

Made this last night for my family. Both my teenage kids decided they like tofu now and my husband ate it...that is a win for him. I used fresh broccoli without steaming it first since I like it crunchy and it was delicious. I also added extra teriyaki sauce because I love the flavor (got the Trader Joe's one) and served it over white rice. Will definitely start incorporating this recipe into our dinner rotation as I want to eat less animal protein. Thank you for a delicious recipe!

This was my first time trying tofu, and I loved this recipe! I will definitely make it again.

This quick teriyaki tofu stir fry is an excellent weeknight dinner. So fun to make, and it tastes absolutely amazing! Thanks for the great recipe.

This is our go to dinner when we don't have time, it's so good!

Yum, yum! So quick and easy. Plus, a great last-minute dinner idea. Love that you can get a ton of veggies into just one dish :D

Thanks so much for an easy weeknight recipe! Will definitely be having this often! Both me and my husband loved it and plan to make a bigger batch next time for leftovers :)

Love how quick this easy tofu stir fry is to whip up for dinner!
