How to Make Ginger-Soy Chicken Mix Stir-Fry
Total time: 20 min · Yields 4 servings
- 1
Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, cornstarch, and sriracha until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside.
- 2
Sear the Chicken
Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

Quick-Fry the Vegetables
In the same pan, add the bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are bright in color but still crunchy. Add the garlic and ginger during the last 30 seconds to avoid burning.

Combine and Thicken
Return the cooked chicken to the pan along with the green onions. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss constantly for 1 minute until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
Chef's Tips
- Ensure your pan is screaming hot before adding the oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Cut all your vegetables to a similar size so they cook evenly in the short timeframe.
- Don't overcrowd the pan; cook the chicken in two batches if necessary to maintain high heat.
What to Serve with Ginger-Soy Chicken Mix Stir-Fry
The garlic butter sauce is the star — pick sides that soak it up or balance the richness.

- Toss with cooked udon or rice noodles.
- Serve in lettuce cups for a low-carb option.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and extra chili flakes.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use beef or tofu instead of chicken?
Absolutely. Use flank steak strips or extra-firm tofu cubes. Adjust the sear time accordingly—tofu may take slightly longer to crisp up.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
