1/4teaspoonkosher salt
1/4teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper
1pouch Asian dressingincluded in Stir Fry package
1-2teaspoonsrice vinegar
Instructions
Warm a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the vegetables and water. Cover with lid for 30 seconds. Remove lid and stir. The vegetables should be bright green and barely softened. Transfer the vegetables to a platter or bowl and drain the water.
Add the oil to the skillet over high heat. When the oil is shimmering and hot, but not smoking, add the chicken, ginger, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and spread across the skillet. Let it cook without moving the chicken for 1-2 minutes, then use a spatula to flip the pieces over or stir them around. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and mostly white or lightly browned.
While the chicken is cooking, add the sauce to a small bowl or cup and add the vinegar. Whisk to combine. Remove the chicken from the heat and drizzle with half the sauce. Stir to coat. Scoop the chicken over the top of the vegetables. Drizzle the chicken and vegetables with the remaining dressing. Toss before serving, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
COOK'S NOTE: To make this recipe in the style of a traditional stir-fry, simply cook the chicken as outlined below, then add the vegetables and saute for 2-3 minutes to soften. Then add the sauce (skip the vinegar) and stir to coat. Cook about a minute longer to coat everything.
