Ingredients
Scale
1 pound protein (chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup snap peas
1/2 cup sliced carrots
2 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon sriracha
Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Protein: If using meat or tofu, pat it dry with paper towels. Toss with a little cornstarch for extra crispness.
Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
Cook the Protein: Add the protein (chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu) to the wok and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from the wok and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Add the bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, and carrots to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), cornstarch, red pepper flakes, and sriracha.
Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked protein to the wok with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat everything. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
