Ingredients
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine chicken cubes with 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes while prepping other ingredients.
Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, then stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate.
Add another 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Add tofu cubes, searing on each side until golden (about 4 minutes total). Remove tofu and set aside.
Add broccoli and bell peppers to the hot pan. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add garlic and ginger. Stir-fry another 1-2 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return chicken and tofu to the pan. Stir together remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster (or mushroom) sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, sesame oil, black pepper, and cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water. Pour sauce over stir-fry and toss to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and everything is hot.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions.
