Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 454 g boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 0.5 tsp cracked black pepper
Garlic Soy Glaze
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce for color and depth
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar for sweetness
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar or mirin
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
Stir Fry
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (like avocado or canola)
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 small zucchini cut into half-moons
  • 0.5 cup snow peas or broccoli florets optional
  • to taste fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish

Equipment

  • Wok

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine all chicken marinade ingredients. Mix well and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together all garlic soy glaze ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add marinated chicken and stir-fry until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same wok, add garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add onion, bell peppers, zucchini, and snow peas (if using). Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Return chicken to the wok. Pour in the garlic soy glaze and toss everything together until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions before serving.
