Ingredients | Chinese Chicken Stir Fry Recipes
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced
1 cup bean sprouts
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons oyster sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons black bean sauce with garlic
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 onion, finely sliced
½ teaspoon salt
½ bell pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
Directions
Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water together in a bowl. Stir in soy sauce, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add chicken; toss to combine. Let stand to marinate, about 20 minutes.
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add bean sprouts; cook just until blanched, about 30 seconds; drain.
Combine 1/4 cup water, oyster sauce, and sugar together in a small bowl.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Add black bean sauce and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook and stir until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add marinated chicken; stir-fry until opaque and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in oyster sauce mixture; cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover and simmer until flavors blend, about 3 minutes. Stir in bell pepper; cover and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Dissolve 2 teaspoons cornstarch in 1 tablespoon water. Stir in bean sprouts and cornstarch mixture; cook until sauce is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Use any color of bell pepper you prefer for this dish.
Substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons light soy sauce for the 1 tablespoon soy sauce n the marinade, if desired.
