How to Make Chili Plum Stir Fry Chicken

  1. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons plum sauce, 1 tablespoon dry sherry, and 1 tablespoon chili sauce.
  3. Add 1/4 of the chicken to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until browned. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil as needed.
  4. Add 2 teaspoons of oil to the wok. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 1/2 cup sliced onion, and 1-2 Thai chilies (finely chopped, adjust to your spice preference). Stir-fry for 30 seconds.
  5. Add 1 cup of choy sum and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until bright green. (Optional: Add 1/2 cup julienned carrots, 1/2 cup broccoli florets, 1/2 cup cauliflower florets, and 1/2 cup snow peas at this stage.)
  6. Return the chicken to the wok. Add the sauce mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until the chicken is coated and heated through.
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup cashews and 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves.
  8. Serve immediately over steamed rice, fried rice, or hokkien noodles.
