Blackberry Ginger Sesame Stir-Fry

Fast, glossy, and packed with flavor, this stir-fry leans on toasted sesame oil for its nutty backbone and a splash of fruit balsamic to finish. Everything happens in one skillet, so dinner is on the table before the rice is done.

Ingredient Spotlight. Our Toasted Sesame Oil brings a rich, nutty depth that anchors the whole dish, while our Blackberry Ginger Dark Balsamic stirs in at the end for a jammy, gingery sweetness that balances the savory soy.

Chef's Notes

• Keep the pan hot and don't crowd the chicken so it browns and sears rather than steams.
• Add the blackberry ginger balsamic near the end so it reduces into a glossy glaze without losing its bright fruit note.

Make It Yours

• Swap the chicken for shrimp, tofu, or thin-sliced beef; the sesame-and-balsamic base works with all of them.
• For a different fruit-forward finish, try our Honey Ginger White Balsamic in place of the blackberry ginger.

Allergens: contains sesame and soy (soy sauce also typically contains wheat/gluten).
