Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, julienned
  • 1 small broccoli head, cut into florets
  • 3.5 oz snap peas, trimmed
  • 3 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 1/4 cups jasmine or long-grain rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices and stir fry for 3–4 minutes, until cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. Add remaining oil to the wok. Add carrots, broccoli, and bell peppers. Stir fry for 3–4 minutes, until vegetables are just tender.
  5. Add snap peas and most of the spring onions, reserving a portion for garnish. Stir fry for 2 minutes more.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the wok. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss everything together. Cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through and evenly coated.
  7. Serve hot over steamed rice, garnished with the remaining spring onions.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, add more chili flakes.
  • Feel free to substitute vegetables based on what you have on hand.
  • Ensure all vegetables are cut to a similar size for even cooking.
