Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast and stir fry for 5-6 minutes until cooked through and edges begin to brown.
  3. Step 3: Toss in 1 medium julienned red bell pepper, 1 medium zucchini sliced into half-moons, 1 small thinly sliced yellow onion, and 2 medium julienned carrots. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tsp sriracha, and 1 tbsp brown sugar until sugar dissolves.
  5. Step 5: Pour the sauce over the stir fry and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken and vegetables.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced scallions before serving.

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep thinly sliced chicken breast from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Spicy Hibachi Chicken Stir Fry with Sesame Soy Glaze?
