Asian Chicken Stir Fry Recipe

The art of stir frying is one most Asian cooks are quite familiar with. It is a cooking method involving high heat, a wok, some oil, and various ingredients for cooking. This Asian Chicken Stir Fry recipe of mine is a pretty classic way of satisfying your cravings for these kinds of dishes. We make use of the usual seasonings for stir frying, such as sesame oil and soy sauce. 

 

But you can also expect an exciting twist, or rather a bit of tanginess from just a bit of lemon juice. Another great thing we can’t overlook about this recipe is that it is even healthier than your usual chicken stir fry. Since we will be cooking with skinless chicken breast, you will have far less cholesterol in your dish. And of course, the high protein content will go a long way in giving you energy for whatever you may be up to today!

Come and try cooking up your own Asian Chicken Stir Fry!

How to Make Asian Chicken Stir Fry

First things first, put your 1 ½ lbs. of boneless and skinless chicken breasts that you’ve sliced into strips into a bowl. Pour 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce, as well as 2 teaspoons of lemon juice in the bowl. Mix everything together, and then just let it sit for 1 hour.

Once you are done marinating the chicken, you can put 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a wok. When this gets hot, go ahead, and add 1 teaspoon of minced ginger, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and 1 medium onion you’ve chopped. Sauté these together. Then you can place your marinated chicken inside as well. We will stir fry the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes.

You can now sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Throw 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, and ¼ teaspoon of sesame oil into the mix as well. And then just keep stir frying everything.

Let’s add 1 medium green bell pepper, and 1 medium red bell pepper, both of which we’ve sliced into strips. Continue cooking for just 4 to 5 minutes more, and then you can turn off your heat. Afterwards, just place the mixture to a serving plate you like. 

Great job at recreating this Asian Chicken Stir Fry! As much as this is already pretty tasty solo, I absolutely love it with certain side dishes, including a specific kind of fried rice. Keep reading if you want to find out what this is.

What To Eat with Asian Chicken Stir Fry

Yang Chow Fried Rice

Some people prefer their stir fry dishes with just plain white rice. But since you’ve already got your wok ready, I really would suggest cooking up some Yang Chow Fried Rice too while you’re at it! This is a great side dish for your chicken stir fry because it is never lacking in flavor, and the bits of pork with the shrimp just complement our chicken and vegetables so well. This is also a dish you will often find in Chinese restaurants. Its popularity springs from its naturally satisfying and salty flavor that most people really enjoy. Like our Asian Chicken Stir Fry, this recipe is another great dish for celebrations.

Golden Chicken Rice Balls With Crab And Corn Soup

You can spruce up your meal even further by adding some soup into the mix. My personal preference when it comes to stir-fried recipes is the classic crab and corn soup. But I added something to boost the dish’s overall texture for this recipe. These Golden Chicken Rice Balls With Crab and Corn Soup is quite the magical pairing. Coated with egg, flour and bread crumbs, the rice bills are perfectly crispy. And this tastes perfect with the warmth of our soup. Be warned though that the chicken rice balls can be a bit challenging to make, as they can end up sticking to your palm. But most parts of this recipe is a breeze, and that includes getting our soup nice and thick.

Lumpiang Gulay

If you enjoy your veggies as much as I do, you would probably love this Lumpiang Gulay recipe. It is crunchy, salty, and filled with a gorgeous variety of vegetables from cubed tomatoes to shredded cabbage. You can also get a great deal of protein from fried tofu in these vegetable egg rolls. I recommended this with our Asian Chicken Stir Fry because the Lumpiang Gulay has a somewhat light saltiness that goes great with the flavor of our main recipe.
