Ingredients  

For the Honey Ginger Sauce:

  • ½ cup gluten free soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ cup Balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup sesame oil
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • pepper to taste

For the Stir Fry:

  • 2 tablespoon sesame or olive oil for the pan
  • 3 large carrots - washed, peeled and ½" cut on bias
  • 1 medium sweet onion - quartered and sliced
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic - finely chopped
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, snap peas or snow peas
  • 3 cups cooked chicken - shredded or thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup fresh cilantro - chopped
  • ⅓ cup scallions - ends trimmed and sliced on the bias
  • 3 cups cooked white rice - (approximately 1 ½ cups dry rice)
  • 1 recipe Coconut Rice - *optional instead of plain white rice

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, add your cornstarch. Gradually add the soy sauce to the cornstarch, making a slurry and allowing the cornstarch to dissolve. Stir until no lumps remain from the cornstarch. Combine the remaining ingredients for the sauce. Set aside.
  • Cook white rice by package instructions. Or make 1 recipe Coconut Rice.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large frying pan. Add carrots and onions to pan. Allow to heat through and soften some. Add the garlic and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
  • Add the broccoli, chicken and sauce mixture. Let the sauce come to a boil and thicken. Continue stirring frequently. Once heated through and veggies are all cooked, turn off heat and add the cilantro and scallions. It is ready to serve with rice.
