Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.

  2. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture. Stir well to ensure all the flavors are evenly distributed.

  3. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the chicken broth until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.

  4. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the sauce and stir until smooth. This will help thicken the sauce as it cooks.

  5. Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add your choice of protein (such as chicken, beef, or tofu) and cook until browned and almost cooked through.

  6. Pour the prepared Chicken Stir Fry Sauce over the protein and stir well to coat. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens and the protein is fully cooked.

  7. Once the protein is cooked through and coated in the delicious sauce, add your favorite stir fry veggies to the pan. Bell peppers, snap peas, broccoli, and carrots work well with this sauce.

  8. Stir-fry the veggies for a few minutes until they are crisp-tender and coated in the flavorful sauce. Be careful not to overcook them to retain their freshness and crunch.

  9. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. You can add more soy sauce for saltiness, honey for sweetness, or red pepper flakes for heat, depending on your preference.

  10. Serve your Chicken Stir Fry hot over a bed of steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, or chopped cilantro for added freshness and a pop of color.
