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
- Make the stir fry sauce by mixing the soy sauce, brown sugar, toasted sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha, cornstarch, and water in a bowl. Set it aside.
- Chop the broccoli into small florets, and slice the red bell pepper, onion, and carrots into similar-sized pieces. Slice the green onions and set aside.
- Cut the chicken breasts into small ½-inch pieces.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, swirl to coat the surface, and add the chicken. Cook until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet, and add the carrots and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until the broccoli turns bright green.
- Add the red bell pepper and onion, and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
- Stir the sauce again and add the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring everything together. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 more minutes until the sauce thickens and the vegetables reach your desired tenderness.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve.
