For this easy stir-fry, you’ll cook tender bites of chicken and a colorful trio of vegetables in nutty sesame oil, then bring it all together with a delicious mix of soy glaze, rice vinegar, and black bean sauce for irresistibly savory-sweet flavor. A final garnish of roasted peanuts lends pleasant crunch to each bite.

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots and thinly slice on an angle. Cut off and discard the bottom 1/2 inch of the gai lan stems, then thinly slice, keeping the stems and leaves separate. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores, then thinly slice lengthwise. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. In a bowl, combine the prepared gai lan stems, peppers, garlic, and white bottoms of the scallions. Roughly chop the peanuts. In a bowl, combine the soy glaze, black bean sauce, and vinegar. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat half the sesame oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the soy sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.
In the pan of reserved fond, heat the remaining sesame oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced carrots in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the prepared pepper mixture; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly softened.
Add the cooked chicken, sliced gai lan leaves, and sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until combined and the sauce is slightly thickened. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished stir-fry garnished with the sliced green tops of the scallions and chopped peanuts. Enjoy!
