Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 medium White onion
- 2 heads Bok choy
- 8 oz Cremini mushrooms
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 Green onions
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir to create a marinade.
Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and let it sit for 10 minutes while preparing the vegetables.
Slice the onion into thin wedges, chop the bok choy into large chunks, and clean and slice the mushrooms. Thinly slice the green onions for garnish.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion and mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the bok choy and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the remaining marinade. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce.
Season with salt and pepper and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve hot. This dish pairs well with steamed rice or noodles.
