Ingredients

  • Chicken breast - 300 grams, sliced into thin strips
  • Broccoli florets - 200 grams
  • Carrot - 1 medium, thinly sliced
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
  • Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons
  • Oyster sauce - 1 tablespoon (ensure Halal certified)
  • Cornstarch - 4 tablespoons
  • All-purpose flour - 2 tablespoons
  • Egg - 1, beaten
  • Vegetable oil - for frying (approx. 1 cup)
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste
  • Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
  • Spring onions - 2, chopped for garnish

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken, beaten egg, cornstarch, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  3. In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, then sauté the minced garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add the broccoli florets and sliced carrot to the skillet, stirring for about 2-3 minutes until they are bright and tender-crisp.
  5. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil, then add the crispy chicken back to the skillet. Toss everything together for another 2 minutes to ensure everything is coated in sauce.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped spring onions.
