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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
