Ingredients
- 500 g boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
- 300 g fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 medium red bell pepper (about 150 g), sliced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper (about 150 g), sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons halal-certified oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional garnish: sesame seeds or sliced green onions
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and season lightly with black pepper. Stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through and golden. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pan. Stir-fry green beans for 3 minutes until bright and slightly blistered.
- Add sliced bell peppers and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until slightly tender.
- Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until smooth.
- Return cooked chicken to the pan. Pour in the sauce and stir well to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the stir fry.
- Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- Use gluten-free soy and oyster sauce to make this dish gluten-free.
- For added heat, stir in 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Swap green beans with snow peas or broccoli for variety.
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of breast for more moisture.
- Great with rice, rice noodles, or quinoa as a base.
