Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Begin by washing the chicken breasts under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels. Slice the chicken into thin strips for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pea Pods

    While the chicken is marinating, rinse the pea pods under cold water. Trim the ends if necessary and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.

  5. 5

    Add the Pea Pods

    Add the prepared pea pods to the skillet with the chicken. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the pea pods are tender yet crisp.

  6. 6

    Finish with Sesame Oil

    Drizzle sesame oil over the chicken and pea pods, and toss everything together to combine. Remove from heat.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the chicken and pea pods to a serving platter. Enjoy hot as a main dish, possibly served with rice or noodles.
