Description

A vibrant and spicy stir-fry dish made with tender chicken and fresh vegetables in a savory sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 400 g Chicken Filet
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 Carrots
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 Yellow Bell Pepper
  • 200 g Broccoli
  • 200 g Champignons (Mushrooms)
  • 150 g Bean Sprouts
  • 6 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 6 tbsp Water
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 small Leek
  • 1 Garlic Clove
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp Sambal Oelek
  • Optional: Additional cornstarch for binding

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Slice the chicken filet into thin strips and place it in a bowl. Add light soy sauce, water, sugar, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat evenly and let the flavors infuse while you prepare the vegetables.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the onion, leek, garlic, carrots, bell peppers, and broccoli into bite-sized, uniform pieces.
  3. Sauté the Chicken: Heat a wok or a large skillet over medium-high heat and add sesame oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips, giving them room to sear. Cook until golden brown.
  4. Add Veggies: Toss in the prepared vegetables, starting with onion and garlic, then adding carrots and bell peppers. Stir-fry until they start to soften.
  5. Create the Sauce: Pour in the remaining soy sauce mixture and let it simmer gently.
  6. Thicken the Sauce: If desired, make a slurry with additional cornstarch mixed with a bit of water. Add it to the pan to achieve your preferred sauce consistency.

Notes

For a spicier version, include sambal oelek and customize with additional vegetables like snap peas or zucchini.
