Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into strips
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, carrots)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil or vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional)
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the chicken into thin strips and preparing the vegetables for stir-frying. Mince garlic and grate fresh ginger to infuse aroma and flavor into the dish.
- Heat sesame or vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, rice vinegar, and cornstarch if using. Pour the mixture over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken and vegetables.
- Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, increase the amount of cornstarch or add a little water to the sauce mixture.
- Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best texture and flavor.
- To make this dish gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
