Makes 2 servings, 1 1/2 cups each

ACTIVE TIME: 30 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce (see Note)
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon canola oil
8 ounces boneless duck breast (see Note) or chicken breast, skin removed and cut into 1/4-inch strips
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
1 1/2 cups sliced bok choy
1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms (1 ounce)

1. Whisk chile-garlic sauce, water, vinegar, soy sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl.
2. Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Cook the duck, in a single layer, stirring once, until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
3. Add garlic and ginger to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broccoli and bok choy; cook, stirring, until the broccoli is bright green, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add the chile-garlic sauce mixture; cook, stirring often, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Return the duck and any accumulated juices to the pan; stir to coat with the sauce. Cook until heated through, about 1 minute.

TIP: Notes: Chile-garlic sauce, a blend of ground chiles, garlic and vinegar, is commonly used to add heat and flavor to Asian dishes. It can be found in the Asian section of large markets (sometimes labeled as chili-garlic sauce or paste) and keeps up to 1 year in the refrigerator.
