Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, sliced
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 pound of sliced chicken breast, 2 cups of mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots), 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of sriracha sauce, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- Prepare your mixed vegetables by washing and cutting them into bite-sized pieces if they are not pre-cut. This will ensure they cook evenly.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to become hot but not smoking.
- Once the oil is hot, add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet. Stir-fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Make sure to stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- When the chicken is nearly cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir for about 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet with the chicken and garlic. Stir-fry for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. You want them to maintain some crunch for texture.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and sriracha sauce. Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, pour this sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet.
- Stir everything together to ensure that the sauce evenly coats the chicken and vegetables. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce or sriracha if desired.
- Serve the spicy stir fry hot over cooked rice or noodles, garnished with additional sriracha or sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your meal!
Tips
- Prep is Key: Cut all ingredients to similar sizes to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
- High Heat is Essential: Use a wok or large skillet and keep the heat high to achieve that perfect stir-fry sear.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Cook in batches if necessary to maintain high temperature and prevent steaming.
- Customize Your Spice: Adjust sriracha sauce quantity to match your heat tolerance.
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Use fresh garlic and crisp vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
- Serve Immediately: Stir fry is best enjoyed hot and fresh, right out of the pan.
- Optional Garnishes: Consider topping with green onions, sesame seeds, or a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.
