Recipe: Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Chop the broccoli into florets and the bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat the Oil: In a large pan or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken strips to the pan. Season with a little salt and pepper. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly golden. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed, then add the garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets and bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and honey (or brown sugar). Stir well to combine all the ingredients. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for 15 minutes before cooking.
- Add other vegetables like snap peas, carrots, or baby corn for more variety.
- Adjust the seasoning to your preference; you can add a splash of rice vinegar or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of tang or heat.
