Hello everyone! This time, I'd like to share a recipe for a healthy and delicious ginger chicken dish.

Ingredients

  • 3 stalks of scallions (separate the green and white parts and slice thinly)
  • 4 cloves of garlic (sliced in half) and 3 shallots (sliced thinly)
  • 6 slices of ginger (cut into fairly thick slices)
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 24 oz chicken (cut into small 1-inch chunks)

  • 60 ml of Shaoxing wine and 375 ml of chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon of brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of fish sauce and 1 teaspoon of dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of white pepper powder
  • 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (mixed with 1 tablespoon of water)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Heat the pot and add oil. Once the oil is hot, add the ginger and stir-fry for about 15 seconds. Then add the chicken and fry for 45 seconds. After that, flip the chicken pieces over and fry for another 15 seconds.

2. Next, add the white parts of the scallions, garlic, and shallots, and stir-fry together for about 30 seconds.

3. Add the Shaoxing wine and stir-fry for another 20 seconds. Add the chicken stock, brown sugar, fish sauce, dark soy sauce, and white pepper powder, then cover the pot and let it simmer on high heat for about 5 minutes.

4. Then, remove the lid and let it cook until the liquid reduces (about 7 minutes). Add the green parts of the scallions and stir. Then add the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens.

Once the cornstarch sauce thickens, you'll have a healthy and delicious ginger chicken dish ready to enjoy.
