Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless skinless, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium
Stir Fry Sauce
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Stir Fry
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 large onion sliced
- 3 cloves garlic sliced
- 2 inch ginger piece julienned
- 8 ounces white mushrooms cremini or shiitake, sliced
- 1 small red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 3 green onions sliced
Instructions
- Prep the chicken. Add the chicken, cornstarch, baking soda, Shaoxing wine and soy sauce to a bowl. Toss everything together well and set aside.
- Make the stir fry sauce. Combine all the stir fry sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and whisk well. Set aside.
- Cook the chicken. Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chicken with marinade and all and spread it out. Don't touch it for 2 minutes, allowing it to sear. Toss it around and finish cooking it for another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Finish the stir fry. In the same skillet all wok add the onion slices and stir fry for a few seconds, then add the garlic and ginger. Cook for another 30 seconds. Stir in the mushrooms, bell peppers and cook for an additional 2 minutes, just until they start to brown a bit. Add the chicken back to the skillet or wok and pour the sauce over everything and toss until well combined.
- Garnish and serve. Garnish with green onions and/or sesame seeds and serve over rice.

Notes
- Notice I don’t add any salt to this dish and that’s because there should be plenty of sodium from all the other ingredients, however, taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.
- For extra heat, try adding some red pepper flakes, sriracha or some chili garlic sauce.
- Freeze your chicken breast for a few minutes before cutting it, to make it easier to cut into cubes or thin slices.
- Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and store for 3-4 days in the fridge. You can reheat in the microwave, or you can use a skillet over medium heat. If you find the sauce is drying out a bit using a skillet, add a splash of water or chicken broth to bring it back to life.
- If you want to keep leftovers longer, pop them into an airtight container and place in the freezer. Your leftover stir fry will keep for 3–4 months in the freezer.
