🥘 Ingredients

17 items

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 8 oz fresh white mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup sugar snap peas
• 1 large carrot, thinly sliced on a diagonal
• 1 cup bamboo shoots, drained and sliced
• 1 cup water chestnuts, drained and sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, minced
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 2 scallions, sliced
• 3 cups cooked white or jasmine rice (for serving, optional)

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. Slice the chicken into thin, bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.

3. In the same wok, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced mushrooms, sugar snap peas, carrot, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove the vegetables from the wok and set aside.

4. Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

5. Pour the chicken stock into the wok and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the oyster sauce, the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer.

6. Return the chicken and vegetables to the wok. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through and coated evenly in the sauce.

7. Garnish with sliced scallions and serve immediately over white or jasmine rice, if desired.
