Ingredients:
Sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 large cloves garlic
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
optional sweetener like sugar, honey, agave, etc.
1 teaspoon minced ginger
Stir-fry:
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons corn starch
1 pound chicken tender cut into cubes
olive oil
1/2 cup medium yellow onion, chopped
4 cups chopped vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, celery, mushroom, snap peas, etc.
Directions:
- Blend all the ingredients for the sauce in a blender or food processor for 10 seconds.
- Taste the sauce and add your choice of sweetener to your liking.
- Blend again for a few more seconds.
- Heat the sauce in a large skillet on medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer the sauce to a heat proof bowl.
- Rinse the skillet clean.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Add the corn starch and massage the chicken with your hands.
- If using fresh broccoli or green beans, boil the broccoli for 3-5 minutes until soft enough to pierce with a fork yet firm.
- Transfer the vegetables to a plate lined with a paper towel.
- Wipe down the skillet until dry.
- Heat approximately 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet on medium-high heat.
- Cook the onion and chicken until the chicken is cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the remaining vegetables and stir-fry them together for 2 minutes.
- Slowly add a few tablespoons of sauce while stirring the vegetables and chicken.
- Continue to add the sauce a few tablespoons at a time, allowing about 15 seconds between each addition to allow sauce to slightly cook down.
- Spoon the stir-fry over a bowl of hot rice. Serve immediately.
