This quick take on everyone’s favorite carryout dish can be adapted to whatever ingredients you have on hand — and made in one pan for easy cleanup.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or non-hydrogenated vegetable oil
- ½ pound protein, such as cubed chicken breast, sliced steak, or tofu
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as peppers, zucchini, broccoli, onions, snap peas, and mushrooms)
For the sauce
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, or a sprinkling of ginger powder
Instructions
Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat. Cook the protein, stirring regularly, until lightly browned.
Add vegetables and cook for another 5-10 minutes, until soft. Remove meat and veggies from pan and set aside.
Mix all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Add the mixture to your pan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer for about 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Add vegetables and protein back to the pan and stir to combine.
Serve over brown rice or noodles for a filling meal.
