Directions

  1. Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  2. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and corn starch in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Mix ginger, garlic, and red pepper into sauce; coat chicken with marinade and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir bell pepper, water chestnuts, broccoli, carrots, and onion until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet and keep warm.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving liquid. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken until slightly pink on the inside, about 2 minutes per side; return vegetables and reserved marinade to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until chicken is longer pink in the middle and vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve over rice.

Really great recipe! I added snap peas because I love them. I also added some hot oil to give it a little more kick. (We like spicy stuff!) Will make this again.

this was decent. I liked it but it needed a little more asian flavor to it for my liking. It was not bad though!

I made the marinade for the chicken according to recipe. Instead of the vegetables called for, I used a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables because that is what I had on hand. I cooked it as directed. The chicken was tender and the sauce was very flavorful. We loved it and this will be my new chicken stir-fry recipe. Thank you.

This was a very tastey recipe. To give it additional pizazz add freshly chopped cilantro (1 Tablespoon per serving) and chopped cashews (2 Tablespoons per serving).

We couldn't eat this dish. Total salt overload due to the amount of soy sauce this recipe calls for. Be cautious! I thought it was odd that I used 3/4 of my new bottle of soy sauce. Chefs beware.....unless you absolutely love lots of salt!

Just tried it last night. Was easy to prepare and the whole family loved it. Tasted like it would if we ordered out. I put my own spin on it and took out the peppers and added mushrooms and zuchini to the mix. It was a great meal.

This was good. But I made a few mods to suit my personal taste and local availability, For veggies I used mushrooms, broccoli, red peppers and added some sweetcorn kernels at the very end. It made a very colourful (red, green, yellow) dish. Also used a grated chilli rather than garlic in the marinade, and served with noodles not rice I found that (since I like my vegetable reasonably crispy) I did not need the last 5-7 minutes cooking. Just stir fried the chicken in step 4, then added the veggies back for 30 secs to heat through.

I thought it was delicious. but to satisfy my preferences i made a few adjustments. added fresh cilantro, snow peas, mushrooms, and some store bought stir fry sauce in addition to the homemade so that there is more "juice" to put on the rice. I also think next time i'm going to put a pinch of wasabi to give it a little kick! :) this is the first successful stir fry i've made and i'm looking forward to making it again. Thank you!
