Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces snow peas
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 stalks scallions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of water, and the cornstarch to create a marinade. Pour the marinade over the chicken, toss to coat, and set aside for 10 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, wash the snow peas and trim the ends.
In another small bowl, combine the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons of water to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for 3 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour the stir-fry sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce and cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat, garnish with sliced scallions, and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
