~ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb chicken thighs (diced)
  • marinade: 1 tbsp oil, 2 tbsp water, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp corn starch, 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • large piece of ginger
  • 2 shallots
  • 3 stalks of green onion
  • 1/4 cup shaoxing wine
  • sauce: 1 cup chicken stock, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1/2 tsp white pepper, 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • neutral cooking oil

~instructions:

  1. Prep the chicken by cutting into 1 inch chunks, and marinate with the marinate ingredients listed above. Set aside. 
  2. Quarter the shallots, roughly chop the garlic, slice the ginger into thin sliced (6-7 slices), and chop the green onion into 2 inch pieces. 
  3. In a separate small bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients listed above. Set aside.
  4. Heat up a wok on high heat with 1 tbsp of neutral cooking oil. 
  5. When the wok starts smoking, add in the ginger slices and toast for 30 seconds. 
  6. Add in the chicken thighs, in one even layer. Sear for 1 minute, before flipping and sear the other side for another minute. 
  7. Add in the garlic, green onion, and shallots. Stir fry for a minute. 
  8. Add in 1/4 cup shaoxing wine, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. 
  9. Add in the sauce mixture and cover. Cook for 5 minutes, covered. 
  10. Remove the cover after 5 minutes, and give it a stir. Cook for another 5 minutes, uncovered, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  11. As the chicken cooks uncovered, the sauce should start to reduce. Mix in the rest of the green onion.
  12. In a small bowl, mix together a corn starch slurry with 1 tbsp corn starch and 1 tbsp water. 
  13. Pour in the corn starch slurry into the wok and stir. You’ll see the sauce thicken. If you want the sauce thicker, add more. Otherwise, turn off the heat. 
  14. Serve over rice, and enjoy!
