🌿 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
2️⃣ Cook the Chicken:
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add chicken strips and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
3️⃣ Cook the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add the remaining oil.
Toss in broccoli and carrots, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
4️⃣ Combine and Sauce:
Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly.
If desired, add the cornstarch-water mixture to thicken the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5️⃣ Assemble the Bowl:
Add cooked rice to each bowl as the base.
Top with the chicken and broccoli stir-fry mixture.
