Chicken and Green Onion Stir-Fry
Ingredients:
-
1 lb (450g) chicken breast or thigh, thinly sliced
-
4–5 green onions (scallions), cut into 2-inch pieces
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
-
1 tbsp soy sauce
-
1 tbsp oyster sauce
-
1 tsp sesame oil
-
1 tsp cornstarch
-
2 tbsp vegetable oil
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Optional: chili flakes or fresh chili for a spicy kick
Marinade:
-
1 tbsp soy sauce
-
1 tsp cornstarch
-
1 tsp rice wine (optional)
Instructions:
-
Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix chicken slices with soy sauce, cornstarch, and rice wine (if using). Let it sit for 10–15 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
-
Prepare your aromatics: Chop green onions, garlic, and ginger. Separate the white and green parts of the green onions.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
-
Sear the chicken: Add marinated chicken and stir-fry until just cooked through and slightly browned (about 4–5 minutes). Remove from pan and set aside.
-
Stir-fry aromatics: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Toss in garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onion. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Add sauces: Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.
-
Return chicken: Add the cooked chicken back to the pan. Toss everything together for 1–2 minutes.
-
Add green onion tops and cook for another 30 seconds, just until slightly wilted.
-
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Tips:
-
For extra texture, add sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, or snow peas.
-
Swap chicken for tofu or shrimp if desired.
-
Drizzle with a touch of honey or sugar if you prefer a sweet-savory balance.
