Equipment

  • non-stick pan

Ingredients
  

  • 400 g Chicken thighs cut into small pieces
  • 2 cup scallion chopped
  • 4 tablespoon oil
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon oyster sauce
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper powder more or less to your liking
  • 2 tablespoon corn starch

Instructions
 

  • Mix the chicken thighs with soy sauce, oyster sauce, pepper and corn starch, then marinate for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the scallions, separating the white parts from the green parts.
  • Add the chicken pieces to a non-stick pan with oil over medium heat, and pan fry until fully cooked.
  • Add the white parts of the scallions to the chicken and cook until softened. If you’re using larger chicken pieces or pieces with bones, cover the pan with a lid and cook until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Finally, add the green parts of the scallions and stir for 10-20 seconds to cook them.
  • Sprinkle more pepper powder or scallions if desired and serve with rice or noodles.

Notes

When cooking chicken dishes, safety comes first. Make sure the chicken is fully cooked through. A non-stick pan works best for this dish, especially since we use corn starch in the recipe. You can add sugar or honey if you prefer a sweeter taste, but I find that scallions become sweet enough once cooked.
