Chicken With Ginger

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• ½ pound boneless chicken breast, sliced in thin strips across the grain
• 2 tablespoons Chinese oyster sauce
• 1 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and cut in matchsticks
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3 scallions, cut in 1-inch lengths
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 servings

Preparation

1. Heat the oil in a wok or deep skillet. Add the chicken, stir-fry briefly, then add the oyster sauce, stirring.
2. Stir in the ginger, sugar, scallions and pepper. Continue cooking about 5 minutes longer, just until the chicken is cooked through. Moisten the mixture with a little stock or water to make a sauce that coats the chicken.
3. Remove from heat, and serve with rice.
