Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the chicken (or beef or pork) into bite-sized strips.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of the gluten-free vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of gluten-free vegetable oil to the same pan.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, carrots, and zucchini to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the cooked meat to the pan with the vegetables.

Step 9

Pour the prepared sauce over the meat and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 10

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.

Step 11

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.

Step 12

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Step 13

Serve hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or enjoy it on its own for a lighter option.
