Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For the Sauce:

• • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)

For the Stir-Fry:

• • 4-5 scallions, chopped (white and green parts separated)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Directions

• Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, rice wine, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
• Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and the cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
• Cook the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
• Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped white parts of the scallions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. If using bell pepper, add it now and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
• Combine Everything: Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the chicken broth and prepared sauce. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
• Finish and Serve: Add the green parts of the scallions and stir to combine. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
