Directions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, ground ginger, vegetable broth, and soy sauce until completely smooth and free of lumps. Set aside.
-
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
-
Add half of the chicken strips to the hot oil and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining chicken strips, adding a little more oil if necessary, then remove and set aside with the first batch.
-
Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil into the wok. Add the garlic and mixed vegetables (broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, celery).
-
Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp and bright in color.
-
Return the cooked chicken and any accumulated juices to the wok with the vegetables.
-
Give the sauce mixture a quick stir (as cornstarch settles) and pour it over the chicken and vegetables.
-
Reduce heat to medium and stir constantly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce bubbles, thickens, and coats all the ingredients evenly.
-
Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
