Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey or maple syrup, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken/Tofu

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and the tofu into cubes. Place the chicken or tofu in a resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken/Tofu

    Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil if needed. Once hot, add the marinated chicken or tofu and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and slightly caramelized.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the mixture for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over rice or noodles, if desired.
