Instructions
Prepare the marinade
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix well.
Pro tip: Use fresh ginger for a more vibrant flavour.
Marinate the chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Pro tip: For best results, marinate overnight.
Cook the chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces, cooking until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Pro tip: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Add vegetables
Add sliced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
Pro tip: Keep the vegetables crisp to add texture to the dish.
Thicken the sauce
Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
Pro tip: Ensure there are no lumps in the cornstarch mixture before adding.
Serve
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy with steamed rice or noodles.
Pro tip: Garnish with chopped green onions for added freshness.
