👩🍳 HOW TO PREPARE IT
1️⃣ Marinate the chicken
Mix the sliced chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Leave for about 15–20 minutes.
2️⃣ Prepare the sauce
Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil and the cornstarch slurry in a small bowl. Set aside.
3️⃣ Stir-fry the chicken
Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until nicely browned and completely cooked. Remove and set aside.
4️⃣ Sauté the aromatics
Using the same pan, add a little oil if necessary. Add garlic and ginger and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5️⃣ Add the vegetables 🥦🌶️
Add the onion, bell peppers and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes. Keep them slightly crisp for that authentic stir-fry texture.
6️⃣ Bring everything together
Return the chicken to the pan. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss everything together. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce becomes glossy and coats the chicken and vegetables beautifully.
7️⃣ Serve & enjoy! ❤️
Serve hot over steamed rice. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds or chopped spring onions for an extra touch.
✨ PRO TIP: The secret to a great stir-fry is high heat and quick cooking. This keeps the vegetables colourful, crunchy and delicious!
