Description

A quick and flavorful chicken stir-fry featuring ginger and chili.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 23 fresh red chilies, sliced (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with soy sauce and cornstarch. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. Add minced ginger, garlic, and sliced chilies to the skillet. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the bell pepper and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
  7. In a small bowl, mix oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
  8. Toss everything together until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the ingredients, about 1 minute.
  9. Serve immediately over cooked rice.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add a dash of chili garlic sauce with the oyster sauce mixture.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breast.
