Sautéed Chicken and Mixed Vegetables in Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry: Stir-fried chicken and mixed vegetables in
homemade teriyaki sauce.
Ingredients:
1 lb. (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots,
snap peas, etc.), chopped
3 tablespoons of soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Cooked Rice (for serving)
Instructions:
Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy
sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok
or large skillet over high heat. Add the chopped chicken and stir and fry until
the chicken is no longer pink. It will take about 3-4 minutes. Remove the
cooked chicken from the pan and keep aside.
Fry the aromatics: In the same pan, add one more tablespoon
of vegetable oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and fry until
fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Cook the vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry the
vegetables for a few minutes until they begin to soften but still retain their
crispness. Cooking time will depend on the type of vegetables you are using.
Combine everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet
with the cooked vegetables. Give the sauce a quick stir to make sure the
ingredients are well coated. Pour sauce over chicken and vegetables in skillet.
Stir-fry: Fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes,
so that the sauce coats and heats the chicken and vegetables.
Serve: Serve the teriyaki chicken stir-fry over cooked rice.
Garnish with additional chopped green onions, sesame seeds or additional
teriyaki sauce if desired.
Suggestion:
Feel free to customize the vegetable mix based on your
preferences and what's in season.
You can add other ingredients like chopped mushrooms, baby
corn or water chestnuts for extra texture and flavor.
For a touch of sweetness, you can add a tablespoon of honey
or brown sugar to the sauce.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can dissolve a teaspoon
of cornstarch in a tablespoon of cold water and add it before pouring into the
sauce. This will help thicken the sauce as it cooks.
Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry is a quick and delicious meal that
combines tender chicken, vibrant vegetables and a delicious homemade teriyaki
sauce. Serve it over steamed rice for a satisfying meal!
