Easy chicken stir fry!  

Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
Marinade
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp minced garlic
  • 3 tbsp minced ginger (For ease, I use the common "ginger in a tube" stir in paste)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
Stir Fry
  • 2 chicken breasts, trimmed of fat and cut into small pieces
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 8 ounce package mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 pound baby bok choy, trimmed and cut into quarters
  • 2 onions, sliced thin
  • 1 can water chestnuts (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions

  1. Prep all of your ingredients in advance.  Once you start cooking, things move quickly!  

  2. Combine marinade ingredients in a medium bowl.  Add chicken and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.  

  3. If serving with rice, start water and rice on stove.  Prepare rice according to package directions.  

  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.  Remove chicken from marinade (but don't throw out marinade!).  Cook until meat is cooked through about 5 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.  

  5. Add remaining tablespoon of oil to pan.  Add the onions and mushrooms and cook until brown, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.   Add the bok choy, and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.  Add red pepper flakes and water chestnuts, if using.  Add remaining marinade and boil for 1 minute.  

  6. Add chicken back to the pan.  Stir to combine.  Serve over rice or rice noodles.
