Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- ¾ lb. broccoli, cut into small florets
- 2 carrots, sliced into thin matchsticks
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped, for garnish
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lb. total), cut into small bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoon cooking oil, divided
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the stir fry sauce. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, toasted sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha, cornstarch, and water. Set aside the sauce.
- Prepare the vegetables by chopping broccoli into small florets and slicing the red bell pepper, onion, and carrots into uniform pieces. Slice the green onions as well.
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized ½-inch pieces.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and swirl to coat. Cook the chicken until browned on all sides, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and the carrots and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 1 minute, just until the broccoli is bright green.
- Add the red bell pepper and onion to the vegetables and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Re-stir the sauce and add the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Pour over the sauce and toss everything together, allowing the sauce to simmer and thicken for 1-2 minutes until vegetables are tender to your liking.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions (and sesame seeds, if desired), and serve.
Notes
For more flavor, you can add mushrooms or snow peas to the mix.
