Chicken with Ginger & Spring Onion



It is always during examination times that I get to be creative and aspiring. =_="

Was longing for Malaysian food last night and this dish suddenly popped into my mind. Did some Googling and found the perfect recipe for me. Little ingredients, little time, wholesome of deliciousness.

I must give credit to Ms Sue from Cooking Momster for the easy yet wonderful recipe. Although I left out quite a few of the ingredients needed, it still tasted great. I reckon that if I were to open a restaurant here in China, I'd be bloody rich. Here're the ingredients I altered slightly from Cooking Momster's


Ingredients : 
2 boneless chicken breasts, cut into semi-small pieces
1 knob sliced ginger
3 stalks spring onion, cut into 3cm length

Marinade :
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp light soya sauce
Pepper to your liking
1 tsp corn flour

Seasoning ingredients: 
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp light soya sauce
Pepper to your liking
1/2 cup of water
Some cornflour for thickening

Procedure:

To prepare for this, you first marinate the chicken with the listed marinade ingredients for a few hours. For the seasoning ingredients, just throw them all into a bowl and mix well.

1. Heat some oil (I think I put in like, 8 tbsp worth) in a wok at medium heat. Throw in them sliced ginger and sautee for a few minutes to bring out the aroma. 

2. Throw in marinated chicken and pour in seasoning mixture. Stir around till meat is no more reddish translucent. 

3. Add in the chopped spring onions. Stir around a little more and it is ready to serve. If you find that the gravy is all dried up simply add more water and stir some more.

And... jeng jeng jeng.


Coupled with some lettuce with oyster sauce, a complete meal. You get all of them carb, protein and fiber. This is 9999999999x better than canteen food and street food. 

Alright now to get some sleep and hopefully get started with revisions tomorrow.
