Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
½ medium orange, juiced
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons stevia powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup broccoli florets
½ cup canned bamboo shoots, drained
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
½ cup chopped yellow bell pepper
½ cup chopped orange bell pepper
½ cup thinly sliced green onion
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
1 cup cooked long-grain white rice
1 cup cooked wild rice

Steps:

Combine soy sauce, orange juice, sesame oil, stevia powder, garlic powder, and ginger for teriyaki dressing in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly; continue cooking until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and heat until shimmering, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chicken and garlic; stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add broccoli and continue to stir-fry, 4 to 6 minutes. Add bamboo shoots and bell peppers; cook for an additional 4 to 6 minutes.
Carefully pour the teriyaki dressing into the skillet (watch for splattering); cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, and the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes more.
Remove from heat and stir in green onion and sesame seeds, reserving some of each for garnish. Serve immediately over cooked white and wild rice with the reserved green onions and sesame seeds.

EASY SESAME CHICKEN STIR-FRY

There is no sauce to this recipe, and you may omit the sesame oil if desired, the chicken is still great with just the added soy sauce, but I suggest to increase if you are not using the sesame oil --- unless you have a huge wok you will need to make this in two batches so the chicken will cook evenly --- this is quick and very easy to make, to save time you may slice the breasts up 24 hours in advance --- my family like lots of heat so I most always add in 1 teaspoon crushed chili flakes, do not make this omitting the cornstarch it will not be the same --- all ingredients may be adjusted to taste, serve with cooked rice or noodles :)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

8 boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced into bite-size pieces, about 1-inch or a little larger or cut into strips)
1/4 cup cornstarch
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon seasoning salt, divided
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil, divided (or use a much as desired)
toasted sesame seeds
1 small finely chopped green onion (optional)

Steps:

Place the chicken cubes in a large bowl.
Sprinkle cornstarch over the chicken; using clean hand toss together to coat the chicken with the cornstarch until well coated.
Heat 2 tablespoons in a wok over high heat.
Add in HALF of the chicken, then sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and black pepper; stir-fry for about 5 minutes or until JUST cooked (do not overcook the chicken, it will cook in very little time, I use 2 smaller heat-proof spatulas for stir-frying).
Add in 1 tablespoon (or more) of soy sauce and continue cooking and tossing until coated with the sauce.
Remove the wok from heat then drizzle about 1 teaspoon seasme oil over the cooked chicken; toss until very well to combined.
Place the chicken in a bowl.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the wok.
Repeat the process with remaining chicken, seasoned salt, soy sauce and sesame oil.
Sprinkle lightly with sesame seeds, then chopped green onion.

Tips:

Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure your stir-fry cooks evenly.
Use a Hot Wok or Pan: A hot wok or pan is essential for a great stir-fry. Heat your wok or pan over high heat until it's smoking.
Cook in Batches: If you're cooking a large amount of food, cook it in batches. This will prevent your wok or pan from getting overcrowded and ensure your food cooks evenly.
Use a Good Quality Sesame Oil: Sesame oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure you use a good quality oil. Look for an oil that is dark in color and has a nutty aroma.
Add the Sauce at the End: Add the sauce to your stir-fry at the very end of the cooking process. This will help prevent the sauce from burning and will also allow the flavors to meld together.
