Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. Clean and chop the vegetables: bell peppers, carrots, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Prepare garlic and ginger by mincing them finely.
Step 2: Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavor and tenderize the meat.
Step 3: Heat the Wok
Place a wok or a large pan over high heat. Add vegetable oil and allow it to heat until it shimmers, indicating it’s ready for cooking.
Step 4: Stir-fry the Chicken
Add the marinated chicken to the hot wok. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the wok and set it aside.
Step 5: Cook the Vegetables
In the same wok, add a bit more oil if necessary. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the chopped vegetables and stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Step 6: Combine Ingredients
Return the cooked chicken to the wok with the vegetables. Drizzle with additional soy sauce to taste, and stir everything together until well combined. Cook for another couple of minutes to heat through.
Step 7: Serve
Serve the chicken stir-fry hot over cooked rice or noodles as desired. Enjoy the dish while it’s fresh for the best flavor.
