Recipe Overview

I adore this chicken mince stir-fry (or ground chicken stir-fry for my North American readers) because it’s incredibly simple and requires just a handful of ingredients.

This stir-fry includes ground chicken mince, carrots, and bell peppers cooked with aromatics, oyster sauce, and a touch of chili. It offers a perfect balance of spiciness, sweetness, and savory flavors in every bite.

The recipe can be prepared in approximately 20 minutes (even quicker with some prep work) and can be served in various ways:

• Served over fluffy white rice, brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.
• Tossed with your favorite noodles like Hibachi noodles.
• Wrapped in a delicious tortilla with crunchy veggies.
• Leftovers can be transformed into a tasty ramen soup or stir-fried rice dish.
• Accompanied by stir-fried Asian greens or other vegetables.

This recipe is low-calorie, low-carb, and can be made gluten-free with the appropriate oyster sauce brand.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to prepare this incredibly simple chicken mince stir-fry:

• Ground chicken – Easily available in Australia supermarkets or you can ask your butcher to prepare it. Alternatively, you can make your own by processing a mix of chicken thighs and breast meat. This recipe also works well with ground turkey, beef, or pork.
• Aromatics – Garlic and onion are the base aromatics, but you can add ginger for additional flavor.
• Vegetables – You can customize this with your choice of veggies. I’m using carrots and bell peppers, but feel free to add broccoli, green beans, zucchini, snow peas, baby corn, etc.
• Condiments – Oyster sauce provides the main flavor profile, along with a bit of chili paste for heat. My preferred brand of Oyster sauce is linked here.
• Optional garnishes: Sesame seeds and green onions (scallions) or chives.
