Chinese Vegetables and Hoisin Stir Fry






We love stir fry and it is a wonderful way to get a good dose of both protein and vegetables into our diet. I love to try new recipes to see if we can find a new favorite to a classic recipe. This one made the list of our new favorites! 


















Chinese Vegetables and Hoisin Stir Fry
 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
 1 tbsp sesame oil + 2 tbsp
    2 tbsp soy sauce +2 tbsp
    1 tbsp rice vinegar
    2 tbsp sugar
    3/4 c vegetable broth
    2 cloves minced garlic
    1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
    1 tbsp corn starch
    1 c chicken pieces
    3-4 green onions, chopped
    1 red bell pepper
    2 c broccoli, chopped

In a saucepan, whisk hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, vegetable broth, garlic, ginger and corn starch together over medium heat. Allow to simmer until thickens, about 5-7 minutes. 

In wok or skillet, stir fry chicken in 2 tbsp sesame oil and 2 tbsp soy sauce until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add onions, peppers, and broccoli (or other vegetables--I used sugar snap peas...stir fry is a great way to use up vegetables that are less than prime, before they go bad!) Stir fry the veggies for about 2-3 minutes. 

Then add sauce and stir fry until combined (about 2 minutes) and serve over rice or noodles!
