Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 boneless and skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch cubes
Pinch salt
Freshly ground white pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 heaping teaspoon Guilin chili sauce
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced into coins
1 tablespoon Shaohsing rice wine
4 fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
4 baby bok choy, white parts cut into 1-inch pieces leaving green parts whole
2 large scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For the chicken: In a large bowl, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the cornstarch and toss to coat.
  • For the sauce: In another smaller bowl, combine the stock, cornstarch, oyster sauce, soy sauce and chili sauce. Mix well and set aside.
  • For the stir-fry: Heat a wok over high heat and, when the wok starts to smoke, add the peanut oil. Add the ginger and stir-fry for a few seconds. Then add the chicken, let settle for 1 minute, and then stir-fry for 3 minutes more. As the chicken starts to turn opaque, add the rice wine and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Stir in the reserved sauce and bring to a boil. Add the mushrooms and bok choy stalks and cook for 1 minute. Then stir in the bok choy leaves and cook for another minute. Remove from the heat and stir in half the scallions. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with the remaining scallions and serve immediately.

CLAY-POT CHICKEN IN OYSTER SAUCE

This dish is terrific on a cold winter night. I got the recipe from "A Spoonful of Ginger" by Nina Simonds. Also, I like the way the chicken is browned in step 2 and use that method whenever I have a recipe that calls for browning chicken. Prep time includes marinating time.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine or 2 tablespoons sake
1 teaspoon sesame oil
4 whole scallions, ends trimmed, cut into 1 inch lengths
2 inches chunk fresh ginger, peeled, then cut into 6 slices
3 1/2-4 lbs chicken pieces, rinsed and drained
10 dried Chinese black mushrooms, soaked in hot water for 20 minutes until soft, stems removed, caps cut into thirds
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons rice wine or 3 tablespoons sake
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch, about, dissolved in
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Mix the marinade ingredients in a large bowl, add the chicken pieces and turn to coat them with the marinade.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate for 30 minute or longer in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat oven to 475° Arrange the chicken pieces, with the marinade and the drained black mushrooms, on cookie sheets lined with aluminum foil.
  • Roast for 15 minutes, turning once, until the skin is golden. Remove.
  • Transfer the browned chicken and mushrooms to a clay pot, dutch oven, or a casserole with a lid. Add the braising sauce and heat until the liquid is boiling.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, partially cover, and cook for 45 minutes, until the meat is very tender.
  • Skim any fat from the surface.
  • The sauce should be slightly thick. If it hasn't thickened sufficiently, heat until boiling, add a little cornstarch dissolved in water, and cook, stirring, until the sauce has a smooth coating consistency.
  • Scoop the chicken and sauce onto a serving platter or serve from the pot.
  • Steamed rice and a vegetable go good with this dish.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different oyster sauces. There are many different brands and types available, so you can find one that you really enjoy.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. This will help to ensure that it is safe to eat.
  • Serve the chicken with rice or noodles. This will help to make a complete meal.

Conclusion:
