Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 4 Eggs
- 6 Garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 stalks Spring onion
- 2 tbsp Water
Instructions
1. Begin by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the spring onion.
2. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and 2 tablespoons of water to create the sauce. Set it aside.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned, around 1 minute.
4. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown on the edges.
5. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and stir to coat. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. While the chicken is cooking, beat the eggs in a separate bowl with a pinch of salt. In a clean non-stick pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
7. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and gently stir to make soft scrambled eggs, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until just set but still silky.
8. Gently fold the scrambled eggs into the chicken mixture, allowing the flavors to combine evenly.
9. Garnish the dish with chopped spring onion and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
