Most stir-frys take heaps of oil to attain perfect cooking results and this dish is not an exception. But with the Le Creuset Toughened Non-Stick Wok, we were able to reduce our use of oil thanks to its non-stick surface. This range from Le Creuset features a reinforced 3-layer non-stick surface for extra resistance against metal utensils and everyday cooking. Thanks to that, cooking healthy stir-frys for the family at home has never been easier!
Ingredients:
- 600g chicken breast, cut widthways into 1cm thick strips, then lengthways into two strips
- 1 level teaspoon of cinnamon
- 2-3 tablespoons of rose harissa
- 4 tablespoons of clear honey (or more if desired)
- 4 whole spring onions, thinly sliced including green part
- 15g fresh coriander, roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoons of sesame seeds, lightly dry-toasted in a pan
- 1 teaspoon of Nigella seeds
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Coat the wok's interior generously with vegetable oil and heat on low to medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken strips and stir-fry quickly until the edges are browned. Remove and drain excess oil from the chicken on a plate lined with two sheets of kitchen roll. You don't want to fully cook the chicken at this point as you'll be cooking it with the glaze shortly.
- Empty the wok of any remaining oil and add the chicken back in along with harissa, cinnamon, honey, and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Stir-fry well until the chicken is evenly coated in the mixture. Add more honey, harissa, and seasoning until you reach your desired taste.
- Scatter some sesame and Nigella seeds and garnish with coriander and spring onions. Serve and enjoy!
Extra Notes:
Not in the mood for chicken? You can simply substitute it for pork, prawns, or even tofu!
