Ingredients

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and place them in a bowl.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the cornstarch to the chicken. Mix well to coat evenly, then set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Julienne the carrot, and finely chop the green onions.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the stir-fry sauce by mixing 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the marinated chicken to the hot pan and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 7

In the same pan, add the remaining vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
