Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets
1 package shiitake mushrooms
2 to 3 carrots, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup onion, diced
1 (8-ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

In a large skillet, heat the oils over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned.

One of the Best.....
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

One of the best stir fries I've ever tried! The sauce was tasty and I love that it makes alot! Paula, you must add garlic!... Don't leave that out! I added 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon fresh grated gingerroot instead of the powdered stuff. It makes all of the difference in the world.I followed the rest of the recipe exactly and served over jasmine rice with pork egg rolls -fabulous! To those of you who thought it was bland, you could always add sriracha. I like that recipe was tasty, but mild enough for my 6 year old son. My hubby and I just added some fresh ground chile paste at the table. I love the combo of veggies in this and the shiitake mushrooms are wonderful! I think this would be good with pork tenderloin or top sirloin steak also. Thanks for a recipe I'll make again!Read more

Bland
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I agree with another reviewer that this recipe is bland. I followed the recipe but did add a small amount of garlic however,... it needs something more. The potential is there - perhaps additional soy sauce or red pepper flakes. I did not find it sweet as others mentioned. I do make stir fry often and will try this recipe again with some adjustments.Read more

Paula Can Do Anything!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This dish is absolutely fabulous! I often wondered how you get the sauce for the rice perfect. We used rice instead of... noodles. This dish was spicy, flavorful and delicious! A sign of a good cook is someone who can make any dish with the ingredients at hand. Paula proves this. Her dish is better than our local Chinese Takeout! My husband asked me to make this dish for him 3 days in a row! Way to go, Paula! I'm glad I can depend on Paula to make me look good! Tsubaki, Encino, CARead more
