Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 500 g Chicken Tender and juicy, the main protein source; swap with tofu for a vegetarian option.
For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil Essential for stir-frying; can use sunflower or canola oil if preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce Brings umami; opt for tamari to keep gluten-free.
  • 1 tablespoon Chili Sauce Adds the perfect kick; adjust to taste.
  • 1 clove Garlic Minced; fresh is best for maximum flavor.
For the Vegetables
  • 2 tablespoons Mixed Vegetables Colorful and nutritious; great options include broccoli, bell peppers, or carrots.

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • wok

Method
 

  1. Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces, then season it lightly with a pinch of salt to enhance its natural flavors.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers, perfect for stir-frying.
  3. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, until it turns a lovely golden brown and is cooked through.
  4. Once the chicken is browned, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  5. Toss in the mixed vegetables and continue stir-frying for 3-5 minutes, until they are tender yet still crisp.
  6. Pour in the soy sauce and chili sauce, stirring well to combine so every piece is coated in that savory sauce; heat through for another 2 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and serve this vibrant Indo Chinese Chicken Cart hot; it pairs wonderfully with fried rice or noodles.
