Hoisin has become another ingredient I've been using a lot lately. My theory is, if you have it on hand, use it...so I do. And believe me, if I didn't love it, I wouldn't have it on hand! It just brings this wonderful sweet, salty, flavor to dishes. Now I have heard that some people think hoisin is very overpowering...and I guess it can be, in a way, but I never use it by itself, it's always diluted with other ingredients. If you are unsure of it, add a little at a time. That's always the best way to handle ingredients you are unsure of. (because, class, what have I said before?? you can always add more, you can never take it away!!)
Hoisin Chicken & Red Pepper Stir Fry
Ingredients:
For Marinade:
2 Tablespoons Hoisin sauce
1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
1 Tablespoon Sriracha hot chili sauce
For sauce:
3/8 cup fat free, less sodium chicken broth
3 Tablespoons Hoisin sauce
2 Tablespoons raspberry preserves (you can use apricot too)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips or chunks)
1 red pepper, sliced
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions:
Combine ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl. Place cut up chicken in Ziploc bag, pour marinade over, seal, and rub chicken to coat. Marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Combine sauce ingredients together in a small bowl; set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and stir fry 2 minutes. Add the red pepper and stir fry for 3 more minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle. Reduce heat; carefully stir in the broth mixture. Simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened, stirring to coat. Serve over rice. Enjoy!

That's it. I'm getting the damned sriracha and some hoisin today from the store! Any brand recommendations, Jenn? I got a bottle of Iron Chef Hoisin sauce last time & it was gross. I was bummed. I mean its Iron Chef, how could it let me down like that???
Anyway your stir fry looks so good. Big stir fry fan here so WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO! :)
So I used a brand once that I can't even remember the name of it and of course they no longer sell it at my grocery store...last time I bought it I got Sun Luck..it's not the greatest, but it's not gross :) I believe Lee Kum Kee (i think that's the spelling) is a pretty good one too. Hope that helps!
Jenn you have rocked the recipe choices this week! My favorite thing on earth is Hoisin - I could bathe in it. I will be making this soon! Have a great weekend!
Hoisin - don't have it. Time to go to my Asian market for a fix.
