Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce or oyster sauce
  • 12 teaspoons sriracha or chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • Sesame seeds or chopped cilantro (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add remaining oil. Stir-fry garlic and ginger for 30 seconds.
  4. Add bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha, brown sugar, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
  6. Return chicken to the pan, pour in the sauce, and stir to coat. Add cornstarch slurry if a thicker sauce is desired and simmer 1–2 minutes.
  7. Serve hot over jasmine rice and garnish with sesame seeds or cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Swap chicken with shrimp or tofu for variation.
  • Add peanut butter to the sauce for a nutty twist.
  • Use mushrooms, baby corn, or snap peas for variety.
  • Top with chili oil or lime juice for extra heat and brightness.
  • Try brown rice or cauliflower rice as a base.
