Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 medium tomatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 stalks spring onions, chopped
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned and almost cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced ginger and garlic, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes until softened. Add the diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes begin to break down.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and water. Pour this sauce into the skillet with the vegetables and bring to a simmer.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir well to coat the chicken with the sauce, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped spring onions. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
