Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce (use low-sodium for a lighter option)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon cornflour (for thickening)
- 1 tablespoon honey (to balance flavors)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seed oil
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
- 500 grams chicken mince (the main protein)
- 1 medium red pepper (julienned)
- 3 stalks spring onions (chopped)
- 1 cup baby sweetcorn (optional)
- 1 medium red chilli (sliced for heat)
Instructions
- Combine all the Stir Fry Sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat half of the vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken mince and cook for about 5 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same wok, heat the remaining oil. Add red pepper, spring onions, and sweetcorn. Stir fry over high heat for about 5 minutes until they are vibrant and crisp-tender.
- Return the browned chicken mince to the wok, pour the Stir Fry Sauce over ingredients, and stir well to coat.
- Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the chicken and vegetables.
- Serve the Chicken Mince Stir Fry over rice, garnishing with chopped coriander and optional sesame seeds.
Notes
- If you prefer a lighter option, use low-sodium soy sauce.
- Adjust the level of heat by adding more or less red chilli.
- Garnish with coriander and sesame seeds for extra flavor.
