2 tsp cornstarch

2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

Marinate chicken: Mix chicken with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and cornstarch. Let rest 15 minutes.

Prepare sauce: In a bowl, whisk remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, stock, rice vinegar, sugar, and pepper. Set aside.

Cook chicken: Heat wok on high. Add oil, stir-fry chicken 4–5 minutes until nearly cooked. Remove and set aside.

Cook aromatics: Add garlic, ginger, and chili to wok. Stir-fry 30 seconds.

Add vegetables: Add carrots, cook 2 minutes. Add bok choy, choy sum, and snow peas. Stir-fry 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender.

Combine: Return chicken to wok, pour in sauce, and stir-fry 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

Finish: Add remaining sesame oil and spring onions. Toss and serve hot.

Notes

Use high heat for authentic stir-fry sear.

Prep ingredients ahead; stir-frying moves quickly.

Marinating with cornstarch ensures tender chicken.

Adjust sauce sweetness, saltiness, and tanginess to taste.
