So I made some chicken stir fry straight out of the joy for cooking book.
The were three sauces the book wanted me to make separately.
The First sauce was
1 tbl spn of cornstarch
1 tbl spn if Chinese cooking wine or dry white wine
2 tspoons of light soy sauce (I used regular soy)
2 teaspoons of oyster sauce
1 tea spoon of sugar
Then 1.5 pounds of skinless chicken
Then in another bowel
4 teaspoon finely minced garlic ( I reduced this to 2)
1 tbl spn ginger (I used japnese ginger that my roommate had
2/3 cup chicken stock
½ cup of snow peas (I had no snow peas)
3 scallions sliced length wide (my roommate had)
And a medium a onion cut into ¼ pieces part of the meal was soup! J
Now I made the decision to leave this as a stand alone soup …. (That worked out well)
I actually decided not to mix this up with the fried chicken portion
Then finally mix well in a small bowl
1 tbl spoons hoisin sauce
1 tbl spoon ketchup
1 tbl spoon sesame oil.
1/ ½ teaspoons dark soy sauce
½ tspoon crushed red pepper flakes ( my improvisational instinct told me to add a little more … and it ended up a tad too spicy but not tooooo much)
This sauce was added on at the end
At the end of the day I basically pounded the chicken pieces into flour (instead of corn starch)
It was pretty dam good as a meal…. But I feel I'm at the edge of AMAZING!
Please add feedback and tweaks from your personal cooking experiences!
What should I reduce ... What should I add.
