- 1 Large Carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
- 4 Cloves Garlic, minced

- 2 Tablespoons Raw Honey or Maple Syrup
- 1 Tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar (unseasoned)

Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the tamari, honey, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Set it aside.
- Create the Slurry: In a small bowl, mix the starch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a hot wok. Add the chicken, spreading it out in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes, then stir-fry until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Stir-Fry Harder Vegetables: In the same wok, add the remaining oil. Stir-fry the broccoli and carrots for 3-4 minutes.
- Soft Vegetables and Aromatics: Toss in the bell peppers and snap peas. Introduce the white parts of the green onions and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Ginger: Make a well in the center of the wok, add garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine Everything: Return the chicken to the wok and pour the sauce over, mixing well.
- Thicken the Sauce: Stir in the slurry and cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from heat and mix in the dark green parts of the green onions. Serve immediately.
