Ingredients

For the stir-fry sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar (Japanese)
  • 4 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

For the stir-fry:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or neutral oil of choice)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 200 g broccoli florets or broccolini, cut in half at a diagonal
  • 2-3 tablespoons water
  • 100 g snow peas
  • 2 chicken breast halves, cut into thin strips (350 - 400 g)
  • 6 green onions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced (reserve darker green parts for garnish)

Method

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the broccolini and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add a splash of water and stir until it evaporates to help steam the broccolini.

  4. Add the chicken and cook for 2 minutes. Then add snow peas and continue cooking until the chicken is fully cooked.

  5. Pour in the sauce and toss everything together to coat well. Top with sliced green onions and serve hot over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to double the sauce ingredients if you prefer a saucier chicken stir-fry.
  • To make a vegetarian version of this chicken stir-fry, simply swap the chicken for firm tofu or tempeh. Cube and pan-fry the tofu until golden on all sides before adding it to the stir-fry. Adding mushrooms (such as shiitake, cremini, or oyster mushroom) is also a great way to boost umami flavour and texture.
