📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and place them in a mixing bowl.

2. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of water. Pour this mixture over the chicken strips and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Set this sauce mixture aside.

4. Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the neutral cooking oil.

5. Once the oil is hot, stir-fry the chicken strips in batches until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

6. In the same wok, add a bit more oil (if needed) and stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

7. Add the red chili flakes, carrot, red bell pepper, and snow peas to the wok. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

8. Return the cooked chicken to the wok and pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

9. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

10. Remove the wok from the heat and garnish the dish with scallions and sesame seeds.

11. Serve the Oriental Snake hot over a bed of jasmine rice.
