Easy Homemade Chinese Food Ingredients
Marinade:
- 1/2 cup Hoisin Sauce
- 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp dried red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp sesame chili oil
- 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. cooking sherry
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 stock (beef or chicken)
- 2 chicken breast, cut into strips or bite sized pieces
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 2 green peppers (or your color of choice), chopped into large pieces
- 1/2 onion, chopped into large pieces
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds (mix of regular and black if you have them)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Easy Homemade Chinese Food Preparation
Mix together marinade ingredients and coat chicken pieces. If you have time to let the marinade sit on the chicken, do. If not, it will taste fine without marinating. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan/skillet. After coating the chicken (and after marinating if you have time), coat each piece of chicken with a heavy coat of corn starch. As you coat the chicken, put it in the oil. If you put all of the coated chicken in a bowl and try to put it in the pan all at once, it will stick together and all of the coating will rip off.
Pour the leftover marinade in a small pot and add the stock. Bring to a boil.
Cook the chicken for 3 – 4 minutes and then add the peppers and onion. Cook until the chicken is cooked through. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss in the sesame seeds and mix to coat the chicken pieces.
Serve with rice.
