Ingredients
FOR THE STIR FRY SAUCE
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang use less for milder stir fry sauce - try it with doubanjiang as well!
- 1.5 tablespoons hot paprika or use 1/2 tablespoon cayenne + 1/2 tablespoon sweet paprika – you can use other spicier chili powders as well
- 4 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or use honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon corn starch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
FOR THE CHICKEN STIR FRY
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil or use olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast boneless cut into bite-sized pieces (or use chicken thighs, or a combination)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces broccoli
- 8 ounces sugar snap peas
- 1 large bell pepper chopped
- 1 Jalapeno pepper chopped, or use your favorite spicy chili pepper
- 1/2 cup toasted cashews
- For Serving: Chopped green onion, toasted cashews, spicy red pepper flakes
Instructions
MAKE THE STIR FRY SAUCE
- Whisk all of the ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl until well combined. Set aside until ready to use.
MAKE THE CHICKEN STIR FRY
- Heat the oil in a large pan or wok to high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the broccoli, peas and chopped peppers. Cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Add the stir fry sauce and stir. Bring to a quick boil, then simmer for 3 minutes, stirring a bit, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are cooked to your liking. The stir fry sauce will thicken in the pan and coat the chicken and vegetables.
- Garnish and serve. I like my chicken stir fry with either steamed white rice or stir fry noodles.
Notes
- Calories estimated without rice or noodles.
