Ingredients

• 300 grams Boneless skinless chicken breast (or lean beef/pork if preferred)
• 200 grams Broccoli florets
• 1 large Carrot (sliced thinly on a bias)
• 1 medium Red bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
• 150 grams Snow peas
• 3 units Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast (or other meat) into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, and season lightly with ground black pepper.

Step 2

Prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, thinly slice the carrot, slice the red bell pepper into strips, and trim the ends of the snow peas.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create the sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the broccoli, carrot, bell pepper, and snow peas to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked meat to the pan with the vegetables. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Pour the prepared sauce over the meat and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly and let simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve immediately, either on its own or over steamed brown rice or other low-sodium grain of choice.
