Simple Chicken in Oyster Sauce and Ginger

Chicken in Oyster Sauce and Ginger

This has got to be one of my top three lazy dishes. This is also a dish Chinese women who’ve given birth eat, because it has loads of ginger. Takes only minutes to make and uses only six ingredients!

Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts, deboned, skinned and diced to big chunks one inch wide (three pieces)
  • Oyster sauce
  • Sesame oil
  • Cooking oil
  • Ginger, about four large tbsps, sliced to one-inch strips
  • Garlic, chopped (about two tbsp)

Method

  1. Heat about 2 tbsp of cooking oil and one tbsp of sesame oil in a skillet
  2. Fry garlic and ginger together for about a minute
  3. Toss in chicken and stir fry at high heat until chicken pieces are half white
  4. Toss in about three to four tbsp of oyster sauce, and mix.
  5. Lower to medium heat, cover and simmer for about 20 mins, stirring occasionally until chicken is cooked.
  6. Serve piping hot with rice!

  2. Somehow i missed the point. Probably lost in translation :) Anyway … nice blog to visit.

  3. Hi! Just stumbled on your blog through google. My mum taught me that recipe too, although we used dark soy sauce instead of oyster sauce because we both are no big fans of oyster sauce. Anyway, you have some pretty great and simple recipes here, there’ll be great for me to cook as a student as well =)
