Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breast fillets or equivalent in thighs
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce divided
  • 2 teaspoons tapioca (or corn or potato) starch, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame seed oil
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1 cup snow peas trimmed
  • 1/4 cup julienned carrot
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  1. Wipe the chicken fillets with paper towels. Cut into bite-size pieces. Place in a bowl. Add a tablespoonful of soy sauce, half of the starch and all of the sesame seed oil. Mix well. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, make the sauce by stirring together the remaining soy sauce, starch, chicken broth, oyster sauce, and sugar.
  3. Heat a tablespoonful of oil in a wok or frying pan. Stir fry the snow peas and carrot strips for 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Heat more cooking oil in the wok or frying pan. Spread the chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes then flip them over and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add the garlic to the chicken. Stir everything up and cook, stirring often, for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Add the vegetables to the chicken.
  7. Stir the sauce and pour into the pan. Stir fry for another 30 seconds or just until the sauce is thick and coats every piece of chicken and vegetable.
