Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice chicken into thin strips and chop vegetables; keep all ingredients within reach for easy cooking.
- Make the Stir-Fry Sauce: Mix soy sauce, oyster or hoisin sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and cook 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil and stir-fry vegetables for 3-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Combine Everything: Return cooked chicken to the pan. Pour in sauce and toss until evenly coated and heated through. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer to serving dishes and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Pair with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave. Avoid over-reheating to keep vegetables crisp.
