You’ll need:
Chicken Marinade:
- 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
Stir Fry:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, minced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers (red and yellow), thinly sliced
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 4 cups bok choy, chopped
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili paste (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
To make:
- Marinate the Chicken:
- Mix a bowl of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and grated ginger.
- Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Prepare the stir-fry sauce:
- Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and chili paste in a small bowl if you like a bit of heat. Set this sauce aside.
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken and cook until it’s no longer pink about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Sauté minced garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until they become fragrant.
- Add the sliced onion, bell peppers, and carrot. Stir fry these vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.
- Next, add the chopped bok choy and snap peas. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- Combine Everything:
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly.
- Let the mixture cook for 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is well combined and heated.
- Serve:
- Transfer your bok choy stir fry with chicken to a serving dish.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
- Serve hot, accompanied by steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
