Ingredients for Asian Chicken And Scallions

  • Dark Brown Sugar
  • Fish Sauce
  • Ginger
  • Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Dry Sherry
  • Garlic
  • 4 ounces scallions (about 2 cups, thinly sliced)
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Peanut Oil

How to Make Asian Chicken And Scallions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 4oz scallions (about 2 cups, thinly sliced) and stir-fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove scallions and set aside.
  3. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces) to the wok and stir-fry until browned and almost cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside, reserving any pan juices.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture into the wok and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Return the chicken and reserved pan juices to the wok. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Stir in the cooked scallions and serve immediately over jasmine rice.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
