Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and marinate with soy sauce, sriracha, and a pinch of salt for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Fry the Shallots

    In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Stir-Fry the Chicken

    In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, and stir-fry the marinated chicken until cooked through and slightly crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Stir-Fry the Cabbage

    In the same skillet, add the shredded cabbage and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until it's wilted and tender. Add the chicken back into the skillet and mix well.

  5. 5

    Blanch the Chinese Broccoli

    Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the Chinese broccoli and blanch for about 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and set aside.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the firecracker chicken over a bed of cooked rice, topped with stir-fried cabbage and the blanched Chinese broccoli. Garnish with crispy shallots.
