→ For Serving
17 - 1 1/4 cups uncooked jasmine or basmati rice
18 - 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)
19 - Fresh cilantro or scallions, chopped (optional)
# Method:
01 - Prepare the rice according to package directions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and keep warm.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, cornstarch, brown sugar, and water until smooth. Set aside.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes until just cooked through and lightly golden. Remove chicken and set aside.
04 - In the same pan, add additional oil if needed. Add garlic, ginger, and all vegetables except spring onions. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and vibrant.
05 - Return chicken to the pan. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss to coat evenly. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until sauce thickens and clings to chicken and vegetables.
06 - Stir in spring onions and adjust seasoning as necessary. Serve immediately over steamed rice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and fresh herbs if desired.
