This quick and flavorful Soy Sauce Chicken Stir-Fry is perfect for busy weeknights!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Mirin
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into thin strips)
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Mirin
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon oil (divided, canola, vegetable or peanut oil)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 4–5 cups broccoli florets (cut into bite size pieces)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl or shallow dish, whisk together 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Mirin, 1 teaspoon sriracha, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until well combined and the cornstarch has dissolved.
- Thinly slice the chicken against the grain into strips no thicker than ¼-inch. Place the sliced chicken into the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 60 minutes.
- Prepare stir-fry sauce by whisking together ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon Mirin, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, 1 teaspoon sriracha, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved.
- Heat ½ tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute, or until hot and shimmering. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess marinade drip back into the bowl, add it to the pan and cook, stirring often, until golden, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
- Heat the remaining ½ tablespoon oil in the same skillet until hot and shimmering. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir fry for 30 seconds.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Whisk the sauce to recombine then add to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened, chicken is cooked through, and broccoli reaches the desired tenderness, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve with rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken for a longer time can enhance the flavor.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots.
