Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and place them in a bowl.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Pour this mixture over the chicken slices and toss well to coat. Let the chicken marinate for 10 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare your vegetables: slice the red bell pepper, chop broccoli florets, julienne the carrot, and chop the green onions.
In another small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 3 tablespoons of water, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to create the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the minced garlic and grated ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the stir fry sauce. Toss everything together and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients evenly.
Remove the stir fry from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and optional sesame seeds.
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles and enjoy!
