Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken provides protein and moisture
- 1/2 cup diced red onion adds sweetness and texture
- 2 cloves garlic, minced contributes aroma and flavor
- 1 cup sugar snap peas offers crunch and freshness
Sauce Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar adds acidity and brightness
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce provides saltiness and umami
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce adds sweetness and depth
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil contributes rich flavor and aroma
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger adds warmth and spiciness
- 1 teaspoon sriracha for heat and flavor
- 1/2 piece chile pepper, sliced optional, for extra heat
Instructions
Preparation
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken. Cook until it begins to brown, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Once cooked, the chicken should crumble easily and lose its pink color, transforming into a light golden hue.
- Add the diced red onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and continue cooking until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Toss in the sugar snap peas and stir. Cook for another couple of minutes until the peas brighten in color.
- In a small bowl, mix the rice wine vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, and sriracha until well blended.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Stir to coat evenly.
- Add the sliced chile pepper if using and let everything simmer for a minute.
Notes
For best results, ensure even browning of the chicken and adjust spice levels to preference. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days or freeze for a month.
