Ingredients
Protein of choice: 1 lb (chicken, tofu, shrimp, or beef)
Soy sauce: 3 tbsp
Sesame oil: 1 tbsp
Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
Ginger: 1-inch piece, grated
Brown sugar: 1 tbsp (optional for sweetness)
Rice vinegar: 2 tsp
Vegetables: 2 cups (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, or your favorites)
Cooked rice or noodles: 2 cups (for serving)
Green onions and sesame seeds: For garnish
Directions
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and brown sugar (if using). Add your protein and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Cook the Protein: Heat a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the protein (reserving the marinade) and cook until fully cooked and slightly caramelized. Remove and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add a splash of sesame oil and stir-fry the vegetables until tender-crisp.
Combine and Finish: Return the protein to the pan, pour in the reserved marinade, and cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve: Plate the dish over rice or noodles, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds for an added pop of flavor.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: This dish is best served fresh and hot, straight from the pan. Pair it with steamed rice, quinoa, or even cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen the sauce.
