Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Combine the soy sauce, honey, ginger, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk until the cornstarch dissolves. Set the sauce aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the hot skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  4. Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir fry for 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Add the minced garlic to the vegetables and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately over rice or noodles if desired.

Notes

You can substitute chicken with shrimp or firm tofu. Use any firm vegetables you have on hand, such as snap peas or mushrooms.
