Chicken in Oyster Sauce

Chicken in Oyster Sauce 

Recipe:

Ingredients:

•  1 pound chicken meat

Marinade:

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• ½ teaspoon blackpepper
• To taste salt
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Vegetables:

• 3 - 4 dried mushrooms, softened and sliced (I didn’t use this)
• ½ can bamboo shoots
• 2 green onions, sliced on the diagonal into thirds
• 1 slice ginger, minced
• 1 garlic clove, minced

Sauce:

• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Oil for stir-frying

Method:

• Combine the marinade ingredients and add to the chicken, and adding the cornstarch last. Marinate the chicken for 10 - 15 minutes.
• While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables and mix together the sauce ingredients. Rinse the canned vegetables in boiling water and drain.
• Heat wok and add oil. When oil is hot, add garlic, ginger, and stir-fry on high heat.
• Add the chicken and stir-fry, stirring frequently until the chicken changes color. Remove from the wok.
• Add oil and stir-fry the mushrooms, bamboo shoots and ¾ of spring onions.
• Return the chicken to the wok.
• Make a well in the middle of the wok and add the sauce, giving it a quick re-stir before adding.
• Stir sauce to thicken and mix with meat and vegetables.
• Add remaining spring onions and heat for 1 minute.
• Serve hot with fried rice.

~ Enjoy! :)
