Stir-fries are one of the easiest and most popular ways that I get dinner on the table. This stir fry caught my eye a number of years ago and the recipe is loosely adapted from and with thanks to Cooking Canuck. It’s a winner for sure. While most of our Asian dishes incorporate a bit of heat or spice, this Ginger Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry is a very flavorful dish that my whole family enjoyed without any heat at all.
Broccoli is one of my favorite vegetables to use in a stir fry. The florets hold so much sauce and each bite is full of flavor. The oyster sauce in this recipe also adds a savory note that we enjoy. Ginger is an ingredient I tend to use quite often for stir fry recipes. It is such a great addition to chicken and vegetable stir-fries. If your kids are new to Asian foods and they might like to try chopsticks, these are the best ever training chopsticks.
How To Stir Fry
Start with a wok or a large deep skillet to stir-fry. I’ve tried classic woks, countless skillets, and frying pans over the years. I now use this everyday pan to stir-fry and I absolutely love it. I typically use tongs or a fish spatula for stir-frying. You can use any sturdy wooden or metal spatula, but fish spatulas really are the ultimate turner, stirrer, stir-fry tool. Cut similar ingredients roughly the same size. Smaller pieces will cook faster, so making sure things are similar will keep things cooking evenly.
