Equipment

  • 1 large skillet or wok
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 spatula or wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots) Feel free to customize the vegetables according to your preference or availability.
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated

Instructions
 

  • Prepare all ingredients before you start cooking. Cut the chicken into thin strips, chop the vegetables, and mince the garlic and ginger.
  • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and a tablespoon of water to create the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken strips to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and sauté the minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the pan, then pour in the prepared stir fry sauce. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
  • Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles.
