Quick Chicken & Broccoli Stir-Fry Tips
What can be used instead of mirin?
Mirin is rice wine. It's basically a sweeter, lower-alcohol version of sake. You can find it in Asian specialty stores, online or in the international section of your local grocer. Still can't find it? Use a dry white wine or sherry, or rice vinegar, in its place in this chicken and broccoli stir-fry or other stir-fry recipes.
Is this stir-fry spicy?
This stir-fry recipe does get some heat from the garlic chili sauce. If it's too hot for you, reduce it by half or use a half teaspoon of red pepper flakes instead.
How do you make a chicken stir-fry without drying it out?
The sauce in this stir-fry has plenty of broth, so it should help keep your ingredients tender. When you're making a chicken and broccoli stir-fry, or any easy stir-fry recipe, be sure not to overcook the sauce—or your chicken!—and you should be good.
