Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by whisking the velveting ingredients in a large freezer bag or bowl. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat. Let it marinate at room temperature for 20-30 minutes while you prepare the sauce and vegetables.
- Separate the bok choy leaves and stems, cutting any large stems in half lengthwise and slicing the leaves into ribbons.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all stir-fry sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Heat a well-seasoned cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 2 tablespoons of oil and swirl to coat. Spread the chicken in a single layer, searing both sides for 1-2 minutes until about 90% cooked. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add one tablespoon of oil and sauté the onions, broccoli, and bok choy stems for 1 minute.
- Next, add the sliced carrots, red bell pepper, and baby corn, stirring for 1-2 minutes without overcooking. Add garlic and ginger, sautéing for an additional 30 seconds.
- Recombine the sauce mixture and add it to the skillet, along with the chicken, bok choy leaves, and bean sprouts. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it thicken for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve the dish garnished with extra chili sauce, green onions, and sesame seeds as preferred.
