Instructions
Ginger-Mustard Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together mustard powder and hot water.
- Add the mixture to a small blender/food processor with everything except sesame seeds. Blend until smooth.
- Add Sesame seeds on top and set aside.
Stir-fry
- Place the cubed chicken in a bowl add salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- In a wok or skillet, heat the avocado oil until just smoking. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook (do in batches so you don’t overcrowd). Cook through about 6-8 minutes, edges will be golden brown. Move cooked chicken to a bowl with slotted spoon and continue to cook until all chicken is done.
- Add the ghee to the pan. Add all vegetables (except for Bok Choy) and cook until they are “slightly” tender (still with a bit of crunch).
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan and add the toasted sesame seeds. Add Bok Choy and cook for about 3 minutes allowing Bok Choy to steam.
- Serve with the Ginger Mustard Sauce.
