Equipment
- 1 Wok or Large Skillet Essential for quick, high-heat cooking to achieve proper stir-fry texture.
- 1 Spatula For efficient stirring and tossing of ingredients.
- 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons For accurate ingredient portions.
Ingredients
Main
- * 1 1/2 cup broccoli fresh or frozen
- * 1 1/2 cup stir fry vegetable without noodle or sauce
- * 4 oz cooked chicken
- * 2 tsp grapeseed oil or olive oil
- * 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce 25 calory per tbsp
Instructions
- Prepare all fresh vegetables by washing and chopping broccoli into florets and other stir-fry vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat grapeseed or olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add broccoli florets to the hot pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to become tender-crisp.
- Add the remaining stir-fry vegetables to the pan and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 2-3 minutes.
- Introduce the cooked chicken to the pan, tossing to combine with the vegetables.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
- Stir all ingredients thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through and the sauce to slightly thicken.
- Serve the chicken stir-fry immediately, optionally with a side of rice or noodles.
Notes
Achieving a true stir-fry texture relies on high heat and not overcrowding the pan. If preparing for more than two servings, consider cooking the vegetables in batches to ensure they sear rather than steam. Uniformly cut vegetables will cook evenly. For an extra layer of flavor, a touch of fresh grated ginger and minced garlic can be sautéed briefly before adding the vegetables. While the recipe calls for cooked chicken, ensure it's not overcooked to maintain succulence. Adjust teriyaki sauce to your preference, opting for low-sodium if managing salt intake.
