Method
 

Build Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry Recipe Step by Step
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Chicken - Begin by cutting the chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes. This ensures they cook quickly and evenly.
  2. Step 2: Make the Sauce - In a bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce (or rice vinegar), brown sugar, sesame oil, Sriracha hot sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, and water. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix in the cornstarch until fully dissolved.
  3. Step 3: Heat the Wok - Preheat your wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the avocado or canola oil and allow it to get hot.
  4. Step 4: Cook the Chicken - Add the cubed chicken to the hot wok. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Add Vegetables - Stir in the stir fry mix of vegetables. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  6. Step 6: Pour in the Sauce - Lower the heat and pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
  7. Step 7: Add Cashews - Toss in the cashews and mix everything together. Cook for another minute to heat through.
  8. Step 8: Serve and Garnish - Remove from heat, and serve your Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry hot. Garnish with sliced scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months, preferably before adding cashews.
  • Reheat in the microwave or stovetop with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
