Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry
Chicken thighs and crisp tender vegetables tossed in a glossy teriyaki sauce, on the table in about half an hour with one pan to wash.
Ingredients
Method
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chicken in one layer and sear 4 to 5 minutes, stirring only occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Move it to a plate.
- Add the remaining oil, then the broccoli, carrots and bell pepper. Stir fry 4 minutes, until the vegetables are bright and just tender.
- Push everything to the side, add the garlic and ginger to the bare spot, and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Whisk the cornstarch into the water, then pour it in along with the teriyaki sauce and the chicken.
- Toss for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
- Serve over rice with sesame seeds scattered on top.
Notes
Thighs stay juicier than breast here. Cut everything before you start, stir frying moves fast once the pan is hot.
