Description
A flavorful dish featuring chicken and mushrooms with a blend of spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless chicken breasts, diced thinly with no skin
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 1 bell pepper, red or green, sliced into strips
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped finely
- 1 medium-sized onion, cut into slices
- 8 ounces of shiitake or button mushrooms, cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons of oil for cooking, used in two parts
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- Optional chopped green onions for decorating the dish
Instructions
- Mix the chicken pieces with the cornstarch, salt, and freshly-ground black pepper. Toss until all of it is well coated.
- Put a large pan on medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and cook the chicken pieces for 4-5 minutes, stirring until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set them aside for later.
- In the same pan, heat the leftover oil. Stir-fry the onion with the bell pepper for 2-3 minutes, then throw in the garlic and mushrooms. Keep cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, honey, black pepper, and rice vinegar until it blends smoothly.
- Add the chicken back into the veggies and pour in your sauce mix. Stir it all until everything is coated well and warmed up. This only takes 1 or 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions on top if you’d like. Serve it hot over some steamed rice or your favorite noodles.
Notes
- This dish can be customized with different vegetables.
- Adjust the level of spice by adding more or less black pepper.
