Vegan Chicken Stir-Fry with Ginger & Scallion

Bright, glossy stir-fried vegetables take center stage here, with crisp-tender carrots, sweet red bell pepper, and baby bok choy all getting a fast, high-heat sear that keeps their color and crunch intact. Fresh ginger and scallion greens bring that signature aromatic punch, while a tamari-based sauce thickened with cornstarch and rounded out with maple syrup and rice vinegar clings to every piece with a deep, savory-sweet glaze. Garlic-infused oil layers in even more flavor from the very first toss in the wok. Spoon it all over a bowl of fluffy jasmine rice and finish with a scatter of sesame seeds for a little extra crunch. It's a fast, weeknight-friendly stir-fry that comes together in one pan and fits neatly into a vegan lineup. Simple, saucy, and packed with texture in every bite.

Chef's tip
Choose an unbreaded plant-based cutlet and cook it according to its package - ignore the recipe's raw-chicken cooking times and temperatures - then use it where the cooked chicken goes.
2 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp sesame oil

For the sauce

3 tbsp tamari
2 tbsp chicken broth
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth.
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp sesame oil

For the stir-fry

2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 cups baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
6 scallions, green tops only, cut into 1-inch pieces

For serving

2 cups jasmine rice, uncooked
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken with 2 tbsp tamari, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Toss until every piece is evenly coated, then set aside to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
2
While the chicken marinates, cook the jasmine rice according to package directions in a medium saucepan. Keep warm, covered, until ready to serve.
