Ingredients
  • 500 g Chicken Breast
  • 1 cup Broccoli Florets
  • 1 Carrots
  • 1 Bell Peppers (Red, Yellow or Orange)
  • 1/2 cup Snow Peas
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Green Onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. This will help tenderize the chicken and thicken the sauce later on.

Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and chop all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. This ensures even cooking and makes it easier to eat. Set aside.

Make the Stir-Fry Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and the remaining cornstarch. Set aside.

Stir-Fry the Chicken

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until it's cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the vegetables and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.

Combine and Finish

Return the cooked chicken to the wok with the vegetables. Pour the stir-fry sauce over the mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken and vegetables evenly. Garnish with chopped green onions.

Serve

Serve the Chicken Stir-Fry hot over rice or noodles. Enjoy!
