Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup green beans trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 small zucchini diced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water

Method
 

  1. Mix. Whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sriracha, and cornstarch slurry in a small bowl.
  2. Brown. Heat vegetable oil over high heat. Cook ground chicken 4 to 5 minutes until golden, breaking into small pieces.
  3. Sauté. Push chicken aside, add sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Cook 30 seconds, then combine.
  4. Stir fry. Add bell pepper, green beans, and zucchini. Cook 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Sauce. Pour sauce over everything. Toss and cook 1 to 2 minutes until glossy and thick.
  6. Serve. Spoon over rice, top with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Keep the heat high for the best sear on the chicken.
Ground turkey works as a direct substitute.
Double the sauce for extra sauciness over rice.
