Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sauce

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  1. Heat the oil – In a large wok or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Sauté the aromatics – Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Cook the chicken – Add the sliced chicken and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until it is golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Stir Fry the Vegetables

  1. Cook the vegetables – In the same pan, add the bell peppers, broccoli, sugar snap peas, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 4: Combine and Serve

  1. Return the chicken – Add the cooked chicken back into the pan with the vegetables.
