Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch green onions (scallions), cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for marinade)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or neutral oil
  • Cooked rice (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss sliced chicken with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Mix 1 tablespoon soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl to make the stir-fry sauce.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add marinated chicken and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan.
  5. Add remaining oil to the pan, then stir-fry garlic, ginger, and green onions for 1–2 minutes.
  6. Return chicken to the pan and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together and cook 1–2 more minutes until coated and heated through.
  7. Serve hot over cooked rice, garnished with extra green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Add bell peppers, mushrooms, or snap peas for extra veggies and color.
  • Use shrimp or tofu instead of chicken for variation.
  • Double the sauce if serving with rice or noodles.
  • Hoisin sauce and soy sauce can substitute oyster sauce in a pinch.
  • Reheat leftovers in a skillet or microwave in short bursts.
