Ingredients
- 2 packs of Fullgreen's Riced Cauliflower (400g / 14oz)
- 180g / 6oz Chicken Breast , thinly sliced
- 2 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped
- ½ Onion, sliced
- 6 stems Choy Sum (or other Asian Greens)
- 1 medium Carrot
- ½ cup Mushrooms (Shiitake ideally), sliced
- 1 cup/ 100g of Bean Sprouts
- 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Chinese Cooking Wine or Mirin
- ½ tsp Sesame Oil
- ¼ cup / 50ml of Water
- 2 tbsp of Baking Soda / Bi-Carb (optional)
- 1 tsp of Cornflour (optional)
Method
- 1 Did you ever notice that the Chicken in Chinese restaurants is almost 'velvety'? That’s because they tenderise it with Baking Soda (Bi-carb) before cooking. It’s a little nod towards the real thing so, if you fancy, place Chicken in a bowl, sprinkle it with Baking Soda. Then set it aside for 20 minutes before rinsing and drying.
- 2 In the meantime, prep the other Stirfry components...
- 3 In a small bowl, add Soy Sauce and Cornflour, mix until lump-free. Then add Oyster Sauce, Water and Mirin.
- 4 Now chop the Choy Sum and Mushrooms, and peel the Carrot into thin pieces.
- 5 Heat a little Sesame Oil in a wok or large, non-stick skillet over a high heat.
- 6 Add the Garlic and Onion, cooking for a minute, whilst moving constantly. Add the Chicken, cook for another minute - until the surface changes from pink to white - then add the Choy Sum, Carrot, Mushrooms, Bean Sprouts and Sauce.
- 7 Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a syrupy consistency
- 8 Serve immediately, with piping hot Fullgreen Cauliflower Rice.
- 9 Enjoy!
