- 2 medium onions
- 1 cucumber (adds a refreshing crunch)
- 2 cherry tomatoes (or 1 regular tomato)
Seasoning & Others
- Pinch of black pepper
- 2 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (like Mirin)
- Pinch of toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Pinch of black pepper
- 2 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (like Mirin)
- Pinch of toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the chicken breast by cutting it into bite-sized pieces. Slice the onion, bell pepper, tomato, and cucumber into similar sizes as well. (Optional: Feel free to add other vegetables like baby greens or mushrooms if you have them on hand.)
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast pieces, along with 1 Tbsp of cooking wine, 1 Tbsp of minced garlic, and a sprinkle of black pepper for seasoning. Stir-fry the chicken until it’s lightly browned and cooked through.
Step 3
Once the chicken is almost cooked, add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and cucumber to the pan. Stir-fry them together until they start to soften slightly. Finally, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for just another minute or so. (Tomatoes can become mushy if overcooked, so adding them at the end is best.)
Step 4
Now, add 2 Tbsp of oyster sauce to the pan. Stir everything together to ensure the flavors are well combined and to adjust the seasoning to your preference. The oyster sauce will add a delicious umami depth.
Step 5
Finally, garnish your finished chicken breast and vegetable stir-fry with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for a beautiful presentation. This dish is highly recommended for those managing their diet or looking for a light and healthy dinner option! It’s a satisfying, low-calorie choice that’s perfect for a nutritious meal.
