Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 150 grams Broccoli florets
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced thinly
- 2 medium Carrots, julienned
- 100 grams Snow peas
- 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns, crushed
- 1 teaspoon Chili paste or chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 100 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Cooked brown rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Prepare all your ingredients by slicing the chicken and vegetables as specified, and mincing the garlic and ginger before starting to cook.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, crushed Szechuan peppercorns, chili paste, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely, and set the sauce aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced chicken breast to the pan, and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
In the same pan, add sesame oil along with the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrots, and snow peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, and pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients. Toss everything together until evenly coated and the sauce thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the stir-fry from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve immediately, optionally over cooked brown rice for a complete meal.
