Ingredients
Scale
- 20 ounces skinless boneless chicken breast (cut into ¼ inch slices)
- 1 pound mixed vegetables (your choice)
- ¾ cup water
- 2½ tablespoons soy sauce
- 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon dark soy sauce (optional for color)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (peeled and minced)
- 1 tablespoon oil (any neutral oil is fine)
- 3 tablespoons water
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt (fine salt is okay too)
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Start by marinating the sliced chicken. In a bowl, combine water, salt, baking soda, and cornstarch. Mix well until smooth. Add chicken slices to this mixture and let them sit while you prepare the sauce.
- In another bowl, whisk together water, soy sauce, sugar, chicken bouillon powder (if using), dark soy sauce (for color), and toasted sesame oil until well combined.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken in a single layer. Cook for about 4–5 minutes until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add more oil as needed. Toss in minced garlic and ginger; sauté until fragrant. Then add your mixed vegetables. Stir fry for about 3–4 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with vegetables. Pour in your prepared sauce. Stir everything together until well-coated and heated through.
- Serve hot on its own or with rice or noodles.
