Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb Chicken Breast Substitution: Chicken thighs for a juicier option.
For the Vegetables
  • 8 oz Mushrooms Use any variety; shiitake or button mushrooms work well.
  • 1 Zucchini Substitution: Bell peppers or snap peas for added color and crunch.
For the Sauce
  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce Substitution: Tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • 2 tablespoon Cornstarch Ensure it dissolves well in the liquid to avoid clumps.
  • 2 tablespoon Shaoxing Wine Substitution: Dry sherry or a mix of grape juice and vinegar.
For Garnish
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds Can be toasted for extra flavor.

Equipment

  • wok
  • medium bowl
  • Small bowl
  • large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the marinade ingredients, mixing them well. Add the sliced chicken breast, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, prepare the sauce in a small bowl by mixing all the sauce ingredients together until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and sear for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
  4. In the same pan, add sliced mushrooms and zucchini. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant.
  5. Return the seared chicken to the pan, pour the prepared sauce over, and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds. Pair with steamed jasmine rice or fried rice.
