Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 450 g chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or sesame oil
Optional: sesame seeds, sliced green onions for garnis

Method
 

  1. Slice the chicken into thin strips. Chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic and grate ginger.
  2. Mix the sauce
  3. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch slurry, garlic, and ginger until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Cook the chicken
  5. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir fry until golden and cooked through (about 5–6 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.
  6. Cook the vegetables
  7. In the same pan, add onion, bell pepper, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir fry for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  8. Combine everything
  9. Return chicken to the pan. Pour in the sauce and stir until it thickens and coats the chicken and veggies (1–2 minutes).
  10. Serve
  11. Spoon over jasmine rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if you like.

Notes

  • You can swap chicken breast with chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
