Stir-fried chicken with bok choy

Prep time: 20 mins

Cook time: 15 mins

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp rice vinegar

2 tsp light-brown sugar

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1lb)

4 tsp cornstarch

2 tbsp vegetable oil

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

2 tsp minced peeled fresh ginger

4 cups sliced bok choy (from 1 head)

1 small red chile or jalapeno, seeded and diced

DIRECTIONS:

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and 3 tbsp water.  Slice chicken into think strips.  In a medium bowl, toss chicken with cornstarch until coated.  In a large wok or skillet, heat oil, garlic, and ginger over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.  Add chicken in a single layer, pressing against pan to sear.

Cook, stirring, until lightly browned and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.  Add bok choy and chile and cook, stirring, until bok choy slightly wilts, about 1 minute. Add soy sauce mixture and cook until sauce thickens slightly, 2 minutes.  Serve over rice.
