Description

This Nutty Stir-Fry is a vibrant, weeknight-friendly meal that balances smoky flavors with fresh crunch. Tender strips of smoked chicken or ham mingle with earthy mushrooms and crisp red bell peppers, all tossed in a glossy, umami-rich sauce made from oyster sauce, soy, and sesame oil. The addition of toasted walnuts adds a delightful texture contrast and nutty depth. It comes together in under 20 minutes, making it perfect for busy evenings. Serve over fluffy white or brown rice for a complete, satisfying dinner that feels both comforting and sophisticated.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat for 1 minute. Add the sesame oil, mushrooms, and walnuts; toss constantly with a spatula for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced red bell pepper, chopped scallions, and smoked chicken or ham strips to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Pour the broth mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens and glazes the ingredients, about 10 seconds.
  5. Serve immediately over hot cooked rice.
