Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast strips and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
Step 3: In the same wok, add 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add 8 oz trimmed snow peas and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until vibrant and just tender.
Step 5: Return the cooked chicken to the wok, pour in the prepared sauce, and toss everything together. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables.
