Vegan Gluten Free Easy Chicken Stir-Fry

Total time30 min

Prep time15 min

Cook time15 min

Crisp-tender broccoli, sweet carrots, and ribbons of red bell pepper get seared fast and hot in a wok, picking up a deep golden color while staying snappy at the center. A glossy, savory-sweet sauce built from tamari, rice vinegar, and a hit of sesame oil clings to every piece thanks to a quick cornstarch thickening, and fresh grated ginger keeps the whole pan smelling incredible. It all comes together in under 20 minutes of actual cooking time, tossed together in one skillet and finished with a scatter of scallion greens and sesame seeds. Spoon it generously over a bowl of white rice and you've got a fast, weeknight-friendly dinner with real restaurant-style flavor. This one's a genuinely solid pick for a vegan dinner rotation, no fuss required.

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

For the sauce

3 tbsp tamari
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp honey
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey.
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp sesame oil
¼ cup water

For the stir-fry

2 tbsp neutral oil (such as avocado oil or canola oil), divided
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced on the diagonal
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 cups broccoli florets
3 scallions, thinly sliced (green tops only)

For serving

cooked white rice, for serving
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
