Asian Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces (about 2cm/3/4 inch). Season with salt and white pepper, then toss with cornstarch until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Peel and finely mince the ginger. Mince the garlic. Cut green onions into 2cm pieces, separating white and green parts. Slice bell pepper into thin strips.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice wine, honey, sesame oil, and chicken broth to make the sauce.

  4. 4

    Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add chicken pieces in a single layer and let sear undisturbed for 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir-fry the chicken for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.

  6. 6

    In the same wok, add ginger, garlic, and white parts of green onions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  7. 7

    Add bell pepper strips and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.

  8. 8

    Return chicken to the wok, pour in the sauce mixture, and toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.

  9. 9

    Remove from heat, add green parts of scallions, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately over steamed rice.

Chef's Note

"This vibrant stir-fry brings restaurant-quality flavor to your weeknight table in just 30 minutes. The key is using fresh ginger and keeping your wok hot – don't be afraid to let those aromatics sizzle! Serve over steamed rice for a complete meal the whole family will love."
