Oyster Sauce Chicken Stir-Fry
Ingredients
  • 14 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/2 cup oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 1 small head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
Instructions
1
Combine the chicken, oyster sauce, and soy sauce in a bowl to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce; set it aside momentarily.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over extremely high heat, causing it to sizzle and bubble vigorously. Introduce the garlic and onion into the mixture; cook and stir until the onion has lost its firmness, about 1 minute. Add the chicken and marinade to the pan; cook and stir until the chicken has developed a rich brown color and is no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
3
Introduce 1/2 cup of water into the pan; add a pinch of pepper and sugar to enhance the flavor. Add the water chestnuts, snow peas, and broccoli to the mixture; cover the pan with a lid. Bring the contents to a boil; cook until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, about 5 minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup of water; stir it into the boiling mixture. Continue cooking until the sauce has thickened and lost its cloudy appearance.
