👨‍🍳 Instructions

Prep the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.

Cook the Chicken

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Stir Fry the Vegetables

In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Toss in onion, bell peppers, carrot, and broccoli. Stir fry for 4–5 minutes until veggies are crisp-tender.

Add Garlic & Ginger

Add garlic and ginger, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Combine & Sauce It Up

Return chicken to the pan. Pour in the sauce and stir well. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything.

Serve

Remove from heat. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or spring onions if desired.
