Lemon Sesame Chicken Stir-Fry

Serves: 4-6

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

 

INGREDIENTS
Lemon Sesame Marinade

1 tablespoon sesame oil 

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Zest of one lemon

2 teaspoons cornstarch

Tip: To save time, purchase stir-fry sauce from your local supermarket’s international aisle and use it as a marinade. Choose flavors like Teriyaki and garlic, or go bold with a spicy orange or sweet chili sauce.
