Ingredients

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 teaspoons light-brown sugar

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)

4 teaspoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger

4 cups sliced bok choy (from 1 head)

1 small red chile or jalapeno, seeded and sliced

Cooked rice, for serving

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and 3 tablespoons water. Slice chicken into thin strips. In a medium bowl, toss chicken with cornstarch until coated. In a large wok or skillet, heat oil, garlic, and ginger over medium-high until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chicken in a single layer, pressing against pan to sear. Cook, stirring, until lightly browned and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Add bok choy and chile and cook, stirring, until bok choy slightly wilts, about 1 minute. Add soy sauce mixture and cook until sauce thickens slightly, 2 minutes. Serve over rice.
