Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced (or thighs)
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- ΒΌ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar

Instructions
Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, ginger, and turmeric. Add the sliced chicken and marinate for 15 minutes.
Cook the chicken: Heat sesame oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add the chicken and cook 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
Add the vegetables: Toss in the broccoli and red bell pepper. Cook another 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
Finish with sauce: Pour in the leftover marinade and bring to a simmer. Cook 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with black pepper or Warm Wild Long Pepper and the optional Pure Perilla Pearls. Serve over rice or noodles.
Why This Stir-Fry Works
Golden Lakadong Turmeric: deep golden color and earthy warmth in the sauce.
Ground Natural Makhir Ginger: bright, citrusy aroma that stands up to soy and honey.
Warm Wild Long Pepper: a sweeter, floral alternative to black pepper.
Quick and customizable: swap vegetables, add nuts or seeds, or adjust the heat.

Swap the chicken for tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas.
How spicy is it?
Mild. Add chili flakes or fresh chilies for more heat.
Can I prepare it ahead?
