Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g chicken breast (or tofu for vegetarian)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 200 g broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 150 g snap peas
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 60 ml water
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 4 servings cooked rice or noodles (for serving)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips or cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes, depending on your preference.
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Add the chicken or tofu and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken or tofu and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Stir-fry the minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and water to create the stir-fry sauce. Pour the sauce over the cooked vegetables.
Return the cooked chicken or tofu to the skillet and toss everything together until well coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Remove the stir fry from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and optional sesame seeds.
Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles for a complete meal. Enjoy your flavorful and easy stir fry!
