Ingredients
Scale
- 20 ounces skinless boneless chicken breast (cut into ¼ inch slices)
- 1 pound mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas)
- ¾ cup water
- 2½ tablespoons soy sauce
- 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
- Oil (as needed for cooking)
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: Combine sliced chicken with water, salt, baking soda, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes.
- Make the sauce: Whisk together water, soy sauce, granulated sugar, optional bouillon powder, dark soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil in another bowl until smooth.
- Cook the chicken: Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken in a single layer and cook until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from pan.
- Stir-fry the vegetables: In the same pan, add more oil if needed; sauté garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds then add mixed vegetables and stir-fry until tender-crisp.
- Combine everything: Return chicken to the pan with vegetables; pour in the sauce mixture and cook while stirring until thickened and heated through.
