Ingredients

400 g Chicken thighs cut into small pieces
2 cup scallion chopped
4 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder more or less to your liking
2 tablspoon corn starch

Instructions

Step One: Preparing - 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.
Step Two: Pan frying chicken - Add the chicken pieces to a non-stick pan with oil over medium heat, and pan fry until fully cooked.
Step three: Adding scallions - 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.
Step Four: serving - Sprinkle more pepper powder or scallions if desired and serve with rice or noodles.

Notes

Food safety: When cooking chicken dishes, safety comes first. Make sure the chicken is fully cooked through. If you’ve cut the pieces larger, you’ll need to cook them for a bit longer.
Non-stick pan: A non-stick pan works best for this dish, especially since we use corn starch in the recipe.
Sugar: You can add sugar or honey if you prefer a sweeter taste, but I find that scallions become sweet enough once cooked.
