Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup snap peas
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice, for serving
  • Sesame seeds and sliced scallions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, hoisin, and cornstarch; add chicken and toss to coat.
  2. Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add garlic and ginger; stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Cook chicken until no longer pink. Remove and set aside.
  4. Stir-fry peppers, broccoli, carrot, and snap peas until crisp-tender.
  5. Return chicken to the pan; add marinade and simmer until sauce coats the ingredients and lightly thickens.
  6. Serve over hot rice and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken for 15 minutes for deeper flavor (optional).
  • Cook in 2-3 batches to avoid overcrowding the pan for crisp vegetables.
