 Instructions  

 Step 1: Marinade the Chicken 

Start preparing the marinade: In a small dish, add 1 tbsp of gluten-free soy sauce and 1 tbsp of rice vinegar. Place the chicken strips in the dressing while making sure the chicken is well covered. Allow to stand for 10-15 minutes back in the fridge while you cut the vegetables.

  Step second: Make the stir-fry sauce. 

1. Combine the ingredients for the sauce: In one bowl, mix 1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey (optional—just to add some sweetness), 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/2 cup water using a whisk. You can add some water to the mixture, but if you want the sauce thicker, simply dissolve one tablespoon of either cornstarch or arrowroot in the water and then mix it in.
2. Add heat: If you want it a little hot, then mix in 1 teaspoon of chili flakes in the sauce.

  Step Third: Stir-Fry the Vegetables 

1. Put the oil: Using a large wok or skillet, place about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and turn the heat to medium high.
2. Add the vegetables: garlic, ginger, onion, carrots, bell pepper, broccoli, and zucchini are added. Stir occasionally and cook for around 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are a bit more than half cooked yet have a still crisp texture. They should still be crunchy so as to add texture.
3. Set away: Once cooked, the vegetables are placed on a separate plate, then set them aside.

 

 Step fourth: Cooking the chicken 

1. Cook the chicken: Using the same wok or skillet, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to it. When the oil becomes hot, throw in the marinated chicken strips and fry them for about 5-6 minutes or until they are cooked throughout and slightly golden.
2. Add the already cooked vegetables back: When the chicken is thoroughly done, rebuild the chicken by adding the vegetables into the wok.

 

 Step 5: Include the Stir-Fry Sauce

1. Add the sauce: Add the made gluten-free stir-fry sauce to the wok-on stove with chicken and vegetables. Mix all the ingredients well so that all of them are coated in the sauce.
2. Cook until modestly thick: After this, continue cooking the stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced and glazed the chicken and blended the flavors.

  Step 6: Serve

1. Garnish and enjoy: Turn off the heat and sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Add lime wedges if liked.
2. Best served on a bed of rice or quinoa: To complete the meal, serve this chicken stir-fry with rice or quinoa, or for a low carb option, serve with cauliflower rice.
