Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

1. Slice the chicken into thin strips (about ¼-inch thick) for quick cooking.

2. In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes). Set aside.

Step 2: Stir-fry the Chicken

1. Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil.

2. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken in a single layer. Let it sear for 1-2 minutes without stirring to get a nice color.

3. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Aromatics

1. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil.

2. Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Toss in the green onions and stir-fry for 1 minute until slightly softened but still crisp.

Step 4: Combine Everything

1. Return the cooked chicken to the pan.

2. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and green onions.

3. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until everything is well-coated and heated through.

Step 5: Serve

1. Transfer to a serving plate.

2. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced red chili if desired.

3. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
