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
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
While the chicken marinates, wash the snow peas and trim the ends.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 7
Add the snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for 3 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Remove from heat, garnish with sliced scallions, and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
