Cook Time: 15 mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast or beef strips, thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp Borsari Olive Oil, divided
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas or green beans
  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp oyster sauce (or hoisin sauce)
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 2 tsp Borsari Cracked Pepper Seasoning
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken: Toss sliced chicken with cornstarch until lightly coated.
  2. Sear the chicken: Heat 1 Tbsp Borsari Olive Oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and just cooked through, 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the veggies: Add remaining oil to the wok. Stir-fry bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, and carrots for 3 to 4 minutes, until crisp-tender. Add garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute more.
  4. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and Borsari Cracked Pepper Seasoning.
  5. Combine everything: Return chicken to the pan. Pour in sauce and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 2 to 3 more minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Serve: Spoon stir fry over rice or noodles and enjoy hot.
