Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast sliced into 1 inch cubes, boneless skinless
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil divided
- 2 cups zucchini sliced
- 2 cups cremini mushrooms sliced, aka brown mushrooms
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated, or ¼ teaspoon dried ginger, fresh
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2-3 tablespoon green onions sliced
- rice for serving
Instructions
- Toss chicken with cornstarch until chicken is fully coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot enough to sizzle when a drop of water hits it, add chicken. Sauté chicken for about 2 minutes, until brown on one side, stir, and continue cooking until chicken is cooked through approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
- Leave the pan on medium heat and add the second tablespoon of oil, sliced zucchini and mushrooms. Stir-fry until they are just beginning to become tender and soft.
- Add garlic and ginger, and stir fry another 60 seconds.
- Next, add soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, and brown sugar, and stir until sauce is combined.
- Add chicken back to pan, and stir to coat chicken with sauce. Bring to a simmer and stir fry until sauce thickens slightly. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds and toss to combine.
- Serve with rice or noodles and extra green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.
