- 1-2 tbsp chili paste or sriracha
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp corn starch or flour
For the Stir Fry
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 lb ground chicken (or ground turkey) 450-500g

Instructions
- Make the stir fry sauce: Stir together soy sauce, 1-2 tbsp chili paste or sriracha (depending on how spicy you'd like it), brown sugar, water and corn starch (or flour). Set aside. *If you like your stir fry super-saucy, double the sauce recipe*
- To make the stir fry, heat a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 tbsp olive oil, the broccoli florets, chopped red pepper and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are slightly tender but still have a bit of a bite. Remove vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
- Keep the pan hot and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the ground chicken and pinches of salt and pepper. Break up the meat as it cooks and cook until no longer pink.
- Once chicken is cooked, add the vegetables back in and the minced garlic and ginger. Cook for about a minute.
- Finally add in the stir fry sauce, stir and let simmer for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve over quinoa, rice or noodles and wish chopped cashews.
