Shrimp and Chicken stir fry

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Start by preparing all your ingredients. Slice the chicken breast thinly to ensure it cooks quickly and evenly. Peel and devein the shrimp if they are not already prepared. Chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces, keeping them relatively uniform in size for even cooking.
2. Marinating the Protein: In a bowl, mix the chicken slices with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and a pinch of pepper. In another bowl, do the same with the shrimp. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Cooking the Chicken: Heat a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken slices. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice sear. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. Cooking the Shrimp: In the same pan, add the shrimp. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside with the chicken.
5. Sautéing the Vegetables: Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the sliced onions, bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
6. Combining the Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken and shrimp to the pan with the vegetables. Mix everything together.
7. Adding the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Stir well to create your stir-fry sauce. Pour this sauce over the chicken, shrimp, and vegetables in the pan. Toss everything together to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
8. Seasoning: Taste your stir-fry and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a bit more soy sauce for saltiness, honey for sweetness, or pepper for heat.
9. Serving: Serve your shrimp and chicken stir-fry hot over a bed of steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra touch of flavor and color.
