Description
This scallion chicken recipe is ready in 20 minutes! Tender chicken bathed in an Asian flavoured sauce with plenty of scallions – perfect for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 2 tablespoon corn starch
Instructions
- 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.
- Pan frying chicken: Add the chicken pieces to a non-stick pan with oil over medium heat, and pan fry until fully cooked.
- 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.
- Serving: Sprinkle more pepper powder or scallions if desired and serve with rice or noodles.
Notes
Ensure chicken is fully cooked through. A non-stick pan is recommended due to the corn starch. Sugar or honey can be added for a sweeter taste, although scallions provide natural sweetness.
