Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (such as vegetable or sesame oil)
- 1 pound protein of choice (chicken breast, shrimp, tofu, beef strips, or pork)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 4 cups vegetables of choice (e.g., broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas, carrots, mushrooms)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- 1.5 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water or chicken/vegetable broth
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cups rice or noodles (cooked, for serving)
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Slice your protein into bite-sized pieces, chop or slice your vegetables, and cook your rice or noodles if needed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and water or broth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the protein to the skillet and stir fry until fully cooked (3-5 minutes for shrimp or tofu, 5-7 minutes for chicken, beef, or pork). Remove the protein from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, followed by the garlic and ginger. Stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add your vegetables to the skillet and stir fry for 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked protein to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the sauce and stir everything together until evenly coated and heated through (about 2 minutes).
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle in sliced green onions and sesame seeds (if using).
Serve the stir fry hot over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy your customizable creation!
