2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 bell pepper, sliced

1 onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced

3 cups mixed vegetables, steamed

Instructions

Step 2: Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned on all sides.

Step 3: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Add the sliced bell pepper and onion, stir-frying until they become tender but still crisp.
Step 5: In a small bowl, mix honey, sriracha, and soy sauce together, then pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet.

Tips & Variations

Try adding fresh chopped cilantro or green onions on top for a burst of freshness.

Substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the heat level to your preference.
Use your favorite mix of vegetables, such as broccoli, snap peas, or carrots, to add more color and texture.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through. Adding a splash of water or soy sauce while reheating can help maintain the sauce’s consistency.
