Ingredients:

For the Chicken Stir Fry:

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or carrots, sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

For the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (slurry)

Directions:

  1. Make the Sauce:
    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.

  5. Thicken the Sauce:
    Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
