Ingredients:
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
– 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed
– 1 small zucchini, sliced
– 1/2 cup broccoli florets
– 2 tablespoons gluten-free oyster sauce
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Cooked white or brown rice, for serving
– Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, marinate the sliced chicken breast with gluten-free soy sauce and rice vinegar. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
2. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and swirl to coat the pan.
3. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the marinated chicken to the wok and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
5. Push the cooked chicken to one side of the wok and add the sliced bell peppers, sugar snap peas, zucchini, and broccoli. Stir-fry the vegetables for another 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
6. Incorporate the chicken back with the vegetables in the wok and drizzle the gluten-free oyster sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind the soy sauce and oyster sauce already add some saltiness to the dish.
8. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are cooked to your liking and the chicken is fully cooked through.
9. Serve the gluten-free wok over a bed of cooked rice and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added freshness and texture.
10. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free stir-fry packed with nutritious ingredients and bursting with umami flavors!
