How to Make It
1. Prep the Chicken:
Toss sliced chicken in cornstarch until lightly coated. This gives it a crisp edge when seared and helps the sauce cling to every piece.
2. Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and the cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
3. Cook the Chicken:
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken in batches, searing until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
4. Stir-Fry the Veggies:
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Add your veggies and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, until just tender but still crisp. (Don’t overcook—you want that crunch!)
5. Bring It All Together:
Return the chicken to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss everything together. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened and everything is coated in that beautiful, glossy flavor bomb.
6. Garnish and Serve:
Top with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or even in lettuce wraps if you’re feeling fresh and light.
Pro Tips for Maximum Flavor
- Slice everything thinly and evenly so it cooks quickly and evenly.
- Use a wok if you have one—it gives a perfect sear and helps everything cook fast and hot.
- Double the sauce if you’re saucy people or serving it over rice that soaks it up.
- Add heat with sriracha, chili garlic sauce, or more red pepper flakes.
Flavor Variations
- Swap the protein: Try beef, shrimp, or tofu for something new.
- Add crunch: Cashews or peanuts bring great texture and flavor.
- Veggie boost: Add mushrooms, snap peas, baby corn, or zucchini—whatever you love!
