Delicious Chicken and Green Onion Stir-fry

Directions

  1. Prepare all ingredients before cooking. Slice the chicken, chop the green onions, and mince the garlic and ginger. This ensures a smooth stir-fry since cooking happens quickly.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips in a single layer and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the green onions and cook for 1–2 minutes until just tender but still vibrant.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and pour the prepared sauce over everything. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and green onions, about 1–2 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper if needed. Remove from heat.
  8. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and extra green onions before serving.
