Chicken with Ginger and Scallions

Still recuperating from the Chinese New Year feast, I settled to make something quick and simple this weekend - Chicken with Ginger and Scallions. The infused ginger and scallions combined to impart fragrance that is refreshing and appetizing. The marinated chicken is so tender and made delicious by the combined sauces. Hmm... healthy and delectable!

Chicken with Ginger and Scallions
1 lb of chicken breasts/thighs, deboned, skinned, and cut lengthwise into 2-inch strips
4 stalks of scallions, cut into 1-inch sections
2 inches of fresh ginger, sliced into pieces
2 tbsp of cooking oil, plus 1 tbsp for marinating the chicken
1/2 tbsp of corn flour
1/8 tsp of sesame oil
1/4 tsp of sugar
2 tbsp of oyster sauce
1/2 tbsp of Shaoxing cooking wine
A dash of white pepper powder
Salt to taste

Marinate the chicken strips with corn flour and add a tablespoon of oil to seal in the juice of the chicken. Set aside for 15 - 20 minutes.
Heat up the cooking oil in the wok.
When wok gets very hot and starting to smoke, add ginger and stir for a few seconds.
Then, add the scallions and stir until thoroughly hot.
Add in the chicken strips and continue to stir well.
When the chicken strips start to cook, add in the oyster sauce, sesame oil, cooking wine, white pepper, sugar, and toss the wok a few times.
Remove from heat and serve hot with steamed white rice!
