- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (for marinating)
- 1 tsp cornstarch (for marinating)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (shiitake, button, or cremini)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (for sauce)
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/4 cup water or chicken broth
- 1 tsp cornstarch (to thicken sauce)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice, for serving
- In a bowl, toss sliced chicken with 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for 10–15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, water, and 1 tsp cornstarch. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until just cooked through, about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Add remaining oil to the pan. Stir-fry garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add broccoli, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Return chicken to the pan and pour in the sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
- Serve hot over cooked rice.
Notes
- You can substitute vegetables based on what you have on hand, like snap peas or zucchini.
- For extra heat, add a dash of chili flakes or sriracha.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce saltiness.
