Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine chicken cubes with soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, hot sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with one tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sear the chicken cubes spread in one layer, undisturbed for one minute.

3. With a wooden spoon, move the chicken cubes around to cook the other sides, one minute per side, until golden and almost cooked through.

4. Add the chopped green onion to the skillet and continue stir-frying until slightly softened.

5. Deglaze the pan with 2 or 3 tablespoons of water and scrape the brown bits stuck to the bottom.

6. Adjust seasoning with black pepper and soy sauce, then immediately serve the green onion chicken stir-fry over rice, quinoa, or rice noodles. Enjoy!
