Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water, setting aside the ginger soy glaze.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 sliced red bell pepper, 2 cups broccoli florets, and 1 large julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry with chicken for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Pour the prepared ginger soy glaze over the chicken and vegetables, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly, about 2 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle 1 tbsp sesame oil and sprinkle 3 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the stir fry. Toss lightly and serve hot over rice or noodles.
