Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Protein

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with a tablespoon of soy sauce and let marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Ensure the shrimp are peeled and deveined. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook Chicken

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the shrimp and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the chicken.

  3. 5

    Stir-Fry Vegetables

    Add the bell pepper, onion, broccoli, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  4. 6

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, cornstarch, and water. Mix well to combine.

  5. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the chicken and shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

Serving

  1. 8
