Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Protein Base
  • 500g boneless chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for marinating)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (helps tenderize and lightly coat chicken)
Vegetables
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 small onion, sliced
Stir Fry Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • ¼ cup water or chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (to thicken sauce)
Cooking Essentials
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds and chopped green onions

Method
 

  1. Marinate sliced chicken with soy sauce and cornstarch for 10–15 minutes to lock in moisture and flavor.
  2. Whisk all sauce ingredients together until fully combined and set aside for later use.
  3. Heat oil in a wok and sear chicken until lightly golden and cooked through, then remove.
  4. Stir fry vegetables over high heat until crisp-tender and vibrant in color.
  5. Return chicken to pan, pour in sauce, and toss until everything is evenly coated and thickened.
  6. Let rest briefly before serving to enhance texture and flavor absorption.

Notes

  • Slice ingredients evenly to ensure uniform cooking and prevent overdone or undercooked pieces.
  • Always cook on high heat to achieve authentic stir fry flavor and avoid steaming ingredients.
  • Prepare sauce ahead of time so cooking remains fast and controlled without overcooking vegetables.
  • Allow a short resting time after cooking so the sauce properly clings to all ingredients.
