Honey ginger chicken and carrots

Eager for a quick and succulent chicken stir-fry? Try this two-pronged approach: First, opt for thigh meat instead of breast, which is higher in fat (read: juicier and more flavorful). Second, thinly slice the meat against the grain, which ensures a tender texture and sidesteps any stringy bites. Slim carrot coins keep up with the speed of this dish, but they’re left more crisp than cooked to add a refreshing bite. If you’d like, stir in a couple spoonfuls of fermented black beans to add an irresistible aroma and ultrasavory hum that brings the dish together.
