Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 2

    Add the chicken slices and stir-fry until they are browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add the bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Stir-fry until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the broccoli and snap peas. Continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes until brightly colored and tender.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, water, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.

  6. 6

    Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet, stirring continuously until thickened, about 2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Return the chicken to the skillet, tossing everything to combine evenly with the sauce.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately over cooked jasmine rice.

Chef's tip

Feel free to substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option. Adjust the red pepper flakes to taste for more or less spice.
