Ginger Chicken Stir Fry
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, cored and sliced
  • 1 cup vertically sliced onion
  • 3 ounces snow peas, trimmed, cut in half
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup sherry
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
1
Preheat the wok or large skillet over extremely high heat, filling it with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Introduce the chicken into the wok and vigorously stir-fry until it has become uniformly opaque on all sides, approximately 3 minutes.
2
Transfer the chicken to a plate for temporary storage.
3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Introduce the bell pepper, onion, and snow peas into the wok and stir-fry until they begin to lose their crispness and start softening, taking around 3 to 4 minutes. Gradually decrease the heat to a lower medium setting.
4
In a separate container, combine water, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sherry, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, oyster sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and garlic in a well-mixed bowl. Gradually pour the sauce mixture into the wok, stirring constantly until it starts to thicken and become syrupy.
5
Return the chicken back into the wok, stir it gently, and reheat for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
