Chicken Marinade

Stir-Fry Sauce

Additional Ingredients

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the chicken with soy sauce, cornstarch, Shaoxing wine, and salt. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Preparing the Stir-Fry Sauce

  1. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chili paste, sugar, sesame oil, and black vinegar until well combined. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the marinated chicken to the hot oil in a single layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 6

    Stir-Fry Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.

  4. 7

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the stir-fry sauce and mix well to coat everything in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Yu Shan Chicken with steamed rice or noodles.
