Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless skinless chicken breast (or tofu for vegetarian option)
• 2 medium Bell pepper (red, yellow, or green)
• 1 large Carrot
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Snow peas
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha or chili paste
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or any neutral cooking oil)
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
• 4 cups Cooked rice or noodles (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients by cutting the chicken (or tofu) into bite-sized cubes, slicing the bell peppers into thin strips, peeling and julienning the carrot, and washing and trimming the broccoli and snow peas.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sriracha, 1 tablespoon of water, and cornstarch to create a sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken (or tofu) and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fully cooked and slightly golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, then add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the bell peppers, carrot, broccoli florets, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir fry for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken (or tofu) to the skillet, then pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat all ingredients evenly. Let cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

Step 7

Drizzle with sesame oil for added flavor and toss to combine.

Step 8

Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
