As ground chicken seems to becoming more common, I decided to concoct a
dish using it, except that I ground the chicken myself, in my Kitchen Aid
so that I would be sure of the quality....so, here then is ground
chicken stir fry, with tofu.
2 tbls peanut oil
1 habanero, seeded and minced
8 ozs ground chicken breast, soaked in 1 tbls ginger wine
1 onion, chunked
1 carrot, chopped
1 Shanghai baby bok choy,or 1 cup of chopped bok choy
1 stalk of celery. sliced diagonally
1 block of tofu(454 gms, 1 lb)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 one inch piece of ginger, minced
1 cup chicken stock....good stuff
1 tbls oyster sauce
1 tsp or more madras curry powder
Mix 1 tbls corn starch in 1 tbls water.
Put a pot of water on to boil, cut the tofu into pieces and drop into
the pot when it boils...let simmer for 5 minutes, drain and reserve. Get
a wok hot, put in the peanut oil, add the garlic and ginger, and when
this is fragrant, add the chicken. Stir fry this until the meat loses
its color and then add the stock, oyster sauce and curry powder. Toss in
the veggies, and let this mess come back to a simmer, then add the tofu,
gently so as not to break up the bean curd...stir fry all the while so
it is well combined, add soy sauce to taste, then thicken with the
starch mixture....taste for seasoning, I added more heat, with Calvin's,
then topped with sesame oil and chopped green onions(scallions) Twas
really good, so I was told by the much better half! served this with
Thai rice and pickled ginger....Enjoy, Cheers,Doug in BC
