Kung Pao Chicken With Jasmine Rice Snow Peas Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat and add the oil. Add the onions and stir-fry until just wilted, about 30 seconds. Add the snow peas and stir-fry until nearly crisp-tender, about 2 minutes more. Add the sauce and stir-fry to coat, about 1 minute.
• Transfer to a platter or large bowl, sprinkle with the nuts and serve.

Steps:

• In a wok, add the grapeseed oil and chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the chicken is browned but not cooked fully through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Add the carrots, celery and scallions. Saute 1 to 2 minutes to cook through. Add the chicken back, along with the pepitas and 1/2 cup of the Kung Pao Sauce. Add the butter and toss.
• To plate, mount 3 cups House Rice in a bowl and invert onto a serving platter. Spoon the chicken on top and garnish with the sesame seeds. Enjoy while hot.
• In a wok, sweat the chiles and crushed garlic in the oil until brown, not burned. Add the tamari, water, rice vinegar, honey, ginger and minced garlic and bring to a simmer. Allow the liquid to reduce by a third, to about 1 1/3 cups, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, cool and place in an airtight container. If you are ready to use, continue with the rest of the recipe. If you are making another time, cool the sauce and store in the refrigerator.
• Rinse the brown rice and soak it in fresh cold water to cover for 1 hour. Drain and transfer the rice to a medium saucepan. Add the white rice to the saucepan with the brown rice. Top the rice with water, stir and drain. Repeat. The water will be pretty clear.
• Flatten the rice with your palm and without removing it, add water until it touches the highest knuckle of your middle finger. Or, add water until the first line on your index finger (in case your hand does not fit into the saucepan). Cover and boil over medium-high heat for 20 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and let the rice stand, covered, to plump, for 10 minutes. Stir gently and serve.

Steps:

• Marinade: In a non-reactive bowl, prepare the marinade. Combine the rice wine, peanut oil, soy sauce, salt and cornstarch. Stir in the chicken pieces and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the sauce. Set aside.
• Over high heat, in a wok, bring the peanut oil to almost smoking temperature. Stir-fry the chilies, ginger, garlic and white part of the green onions for 30 to 40 seconds, or until the chilies turn dark. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden in color.
• Add the sauce and bring to a boil. Add the peanuts. Thicken with the slurry and continue to cook until glossy. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with julienne green onions.

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a medium bowl. Whisk together the tamari/soy, wine, cornstarch, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Drizzle 2 Tbsp of the mixture over the chicken and toss to combine. Set aside. Add the vinegar, sugar and sambal to the remaining marinade and whisk until sugar is dissolved. Set aside. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a flat bottomed wok or large fry pan. Stir fry bell peppers and celery, season with salt. Stur fry until crisp-tender and browned in spots, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Drizzle the remaining 2 Tbsp of oil into the pan. Add the chicken and spread into an even layer. Let cook undisturbed until golden-brown and seared on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir-fry until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Return the vegetables and peanuts to the pan. Stir the reserved sauce to dissolve the cornstarch. Pour into the pan and stir-fry until the sauce thickens and evenly coats everything in the pan. Sprinkle with scallions and serve immediately with rice.

Steps:

• 1. Cook rice Rinse rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Add to a medium saucepan along with 2 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook over low until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 17 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover to keep warm. 2. Make kung pao sauce While the rice cooks, in a small bowl, combine all of the tamari, 1-3 chili garlic sauce packets (depending on your heat preferences), ¼ cup water, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and 4 teaspoons sugar, whisk until sugar dissolves. 3. Prep ingredients Trim ends from scallions, then thinly slice. Trim ends from snow peas. Pat chicken dry. Season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons flour. 4. Stir-fry snap peas Heat 1½ tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add snow peas, ¼ cup of the scallions, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook until crisp-tender and browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Cover to keep warm. 5. Cook chicken & serve Heat 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium-high. Add chicken; cook until browned, 2-3 minutes per side. Add kung pao sauce. Cook until sauce is thickened slightly, basting chicken with sauce, 1-2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Fluff rice with fork. Serve chicken and sauce with rice and snow peas. Garnish with remaining scallions. Enjoy! 6. Make it picky-eater proof We like to mix up our veggies and chicken so everything benefits from the Kung Pao sauce, but picky eaters can have the snow peas served on the side or not at all!
