Chicken and Vegetables in Soy Sauce
Chicken with Vegetables in Soy Sauce” is the quintessence of Asian cuisine, a dish valued for its quick preparation, versatility, and balance of flavors. The main cooking method is stir-fry, which involves quickly cooking ingredients over very high heat in a pan or wok. Pieces of chicken fillet (breast or thigh) are quickly sautéed until cooked, retaining their juiciness. Then, an assortment of fresh vegetables is added: often broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, onions, zucchini, green beans, mushrooms, as well as bamboo shoots or water chestnuts for texture. Everything is cooked in a flavorful sauce based on soy sauce. Minced garlic and ginger are added for pungency, sometimes sesame oil for a nutty aroma, a little honey or sugar for a sweet note, and other spices or rice wine for flavor depth. The dish turns out bright, delicious, and healthy
