O cină asiatică spectaculoasă și rapidă, gata în doar 15 minute: fâșii fragede de piept de pui rumenite la foc iute în wok cu praz dulce și crocant, ghimbir proaspăt aromat, usturoi și un sos mătăsos de soia și susan.
Preparation method
Ingredient preparation
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. Place the strips in a bowl, add a tablespoon of soy sauce (about 15 ml) and the cornstarch, mix well, and let them marinate for 5-10 minutes to tenderize.
Wash the leek thoroughly to remove any trace of soil, then slice the white and light green parts diagonally into thick pieces (about 1-2 cm). Grate the fresh ginger, crush and finely chop the garlic cloves, and thinly slice the spring onions.
Quick wok cooking
Heat the wok (or a deep frying pan) over high heat until smoking hot, then pour in the sunflower oil. Add the chicken strips in a single layer and stir-fry vigorously for 3-4 minutes, until they get a golden crust and are almost cooked through. Temporarily remove the chicken onto a clean plate.
Chef's tip
Slicing the leek diagonally into generous pieces (1-2 cm) allows it to caramelize quickly on the outside in the wok, while remaining sweet and crunchy in the middle.
Briefly marinating the chicken with cornstarch and soy sauce is the classic Asian technique ('velveting') that keeps the meat incredibly tender and juicy over very high heat.
