Ingredients
Units
Scale
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into thin strips)
1 tbsp vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
1 red bell pepper (julienned)
1 yellow bell pepper (julienned)
1 medium carrot (sliced thin)
1 zucchini (cut into half-moons)
1 cup broccoli florets
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1-inch piece fresh ginger (grated)
For the Sauce:
3 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tbsp hoisin sauce 2 tsp rice vinegar 1 tbsp honey 1 tsp sesame oil 1 tsp cornstarch (for thickening) 1 tbsp waterInstructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: This is the most important step in stir-frying. Chop everything ahead of time so you can move quickly in the wok. You want your veggies and chicken cut into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
- Heat the Wok: Place your wok over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and let it heat up until it’s shimmering but not smoking. A well-heated wok is key to getting that signature wok-char flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken to the wok and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes, until it’s browned and cooked through. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent burning. Remove the chicken from the wok and set it aside.
- Stir-Fry the Veggies: In the same wok, add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, toss in your bell peppers, carrots, zucchini, and broccoli. Stir-fry the veggies for 3-4 minutes, just until they’re crisp-tender and still vibrant.
- Add the Chicken Back & Sauce: Return the chicken to the wok. Pour in the sauce and toss everything to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is well coated.
- Serve: Serve the stir-fry hot over rice or noodles, and garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions, if desired.
Notes
Tips, Pairings, & Garnishment
⭐ Wok Tips:
- High heat is key! Make sure your wok is really hot before adding the oil. This will give your chicken a crispy exterior and prevent it from getting soggy.
- Don’t overcrowd the wok. If you have a large batch, cook in batches. Too much in the wok at once will steam the ingredients rather than stir-fry them.
- Keep things moving. Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic and to get an even char on everything.
- Use a wok spatula or wooden spoon to toss everything. It’s better for getting into the corners of the wok.
🥢 Pair With:
- Steamed white or brown rice (perfect for soaking up that savory sauce)
- Noodles (soba or rice noodles work well!)
- A crisp cucumber salad with rice vinegar for a refreshing contrast to the savory stir-fry.
🍶 Drink Match: A chilled Sauvignon Blanc or a light Pinot Noir will cut through the richness of the sauce and complement the freshness of the veggies.

8-10 wooden or metal skewers (wood best soaked before use)

1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced

- 🔥 Spice Level Tip: Want more heat? Add extra sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade!
Pro Tip:
If you’re using wooden skewers, you should soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This prevents them from burning or catching fire on the grill.
-
If you grill often, consider using metal skewers—they’re reusable and don’t require soaking!
- For extra flavor, soak wooden skewers in beer, wine, or citrus-infused water instead of plain water.
