Ingredients

• 150 grams chicken breast, sliced
• 15 ml soy sauce
• 2 grams garlic, minced
• 2 grams ginger, minced
• 10 ml sesame oil
• 50 grams bell peppers, sliced
• 50 grams broccoli, small florets
• 50 grams carrots, julienned
• 50 grams onions, sliced
• 50 grams snow peas
• 150 grams cooked rice
• 10 grams cornstarch
• 10 grams scallions, sliced for garnish
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method

• In a small bowl, combine the sliced chicken with 5 ml soy sauce and 5 grams cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 5 ml sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
• Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, and cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add the remaining 5 ml sesame oil. Add bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, onions, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
• In a small bowl, mix the remaining 10 ml soy sauce with 5 grams cornstarch and 50 ml water to create the sauce.
• Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables, and pour the sauce over the top. Stir until the sauce thickens and everything is well coated, about 2 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice and garnish with sliced scallions.

Tips

• Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to get a nice sear.
• Cut the vegetables uniformly for even cooking.
• Do not overcook the vegetables to maintain their crunchy texture.
