Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 8 ounces Button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 1 large Carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 can (8 oz) Water chestnuts, sliced
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. In a medium bowl, mix the chicken with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and the Shaoxing wine. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms, snow peas, carrots, and water chestnuts to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the chicken broth, oyster sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sugar, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry and mix. Garnish with green onions before serving.
Serve hot over steamed white rice or noodles, if desired.
