🍗 Chicken Marinade
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
1½ tsp soy sauce
2 tsp oyster sauce
1 tsp Shaoxing wine
1 tsp salt, optional
2 tsp cornstarch
🌶️Black Pepper Sauce
3 tsp soy sauce
1½ tsp dark soy sauce
1½ tsp oyster sauce
1 tsp Shaoxing wine
2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
1½ tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp cornstarch
🧄 Stir-Fry
2 tsp neutral oil, divided
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 green onions, sliced
🍚 To Serve
4 cups cooked white rice, about 1 cup per plate
Instructions
1. Marinate the chicken.
Place the sliced chicken in a bowl. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, optional salt, and cornstarch. Toss until every piece is evenly coated. Let marinate for 15–20 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
2. Prepare the black pepper sauce.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, brown sugar, sesame oil, chicken broth, black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside.
3. Cook the chicken.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high to high heat. Add 1 teaspoon neutral oil.
Add the chicken in a single layer. Let it sear for about 1–2 minutes without moving it, then stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes, until lightly browned and almost completely cooked through.
Transfer the chicken to a plate.
4. Stir-fry the aromatics and onion.
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the same pan.
Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Add the sliced yellow onion and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly softened but still a little crisp.
5. Return the chicken and any juices from the plate to the skillet.
