Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast (thinly sliced; can also substitute boneless skinless chicken thighs)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (plus 1 tablespoon, divided)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- Vegetable oil
- 1-2 tablespoons minced ginger
- 3 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Sha Cha Sauce
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 5 scallions (cut on an angle into 2-inch lengths)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the sliced chicken breast, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons cornstarch and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Mix well. Heat your wok over high heat until smoking. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and sear the chicken until it just turns opaque (it can still be slightly pink). Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium, and add another couple tablespoons of oil to the wok. Add the ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add the garlic, sha cha sauce, and sugar, and fry this mixture for 2 minutes.
- Then add the chicken back to the wok along with the scallions and the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce. Increase the heat to high, and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the scallions are wilted. Serve immediately with steamed rice!
