Stir Fried Chicken with Ginger and Spring Onion

Stir Fried Cabbage with Carrot




Stir Fried Chicken with Ginger and Spring Onion

I cooked these for lunch in church 2 weeks ago; chicken with ginger and spring onion and stir fried cabbage with carrot. Just simple food, the kind I usually cook for our dinner. Nicholas had lots of the cabbage and he ate it as if he was eating salad although it’s meant to go with rice. I was glad that he enjoyed it and who says we had to force kids to eat vege? ;p

The chicken is one of my favourite dishes as I love anything with lots of ginger and spring onion. :)


Ingredients:

Chicken Meat (de-boned)
Cooking Wine
Sugar
Salt
Pepper
Light Soy Sauce
Sesame Oil
Ginger
Garlic
Spring Onion
Oyster Sauce
Oil
Water
Corn Flour (optional)


Method:
1. Marinate chicken meat with cooking wine, salt, sugar, pepper, light soy sauce and sesame oil for 1 hour or so.
2. Heat some oil in a wok and saute the garlic and ginger until fragrant.
3. Add in some spring onion (the harder, whitish part nearer to the root) and stir fry till fragrant.
4. Put in the chicken and stir fry for 1min.
5. Season with a little bit of oyster sauce, salt and sugar.
6. Add some water and cook till it simmers.
7. Add in the rest of the spring onion and cook for another minute.
8. Dish up and serve hot.

Note: If you wish to thicken the sauce, mix some corn flour with water and pour it into the mixture (when you add the rest of the spring onion). Cook till it simmers.
