Method
- In a large nonstick skillet or wok, heat 1/2 teaspoon of the grapeseed oil over high heat.
- When the pan is hot and almost smoking, add the chicken, 1/2 tablespoon of the soy sauce and the crushed red pepper.
- Brown the chicken, using a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces as it cooks, 3–4 minutes.
- Add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until softened, 2–3 minutes.
- Transfer to a medium bowl.
- To the pan, add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon grapeseed oil, the Brussels sprouts and carrots. Cook, stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the bell pepper and mushrooms. Pour in the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, rice wine and sesame oil.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, stir and reheat for about 30 seconds.
- Remove the pan from the heat, garnish with the scallion, and divide between two bowls.
