1/2 cup(s) shoyu or soy sauce
1/2 cup(s) oyster sauce
1/2 cup(s) catsup

- green onion, minced

Steps:

Tips:

Choose ripe guavas: Look for guavas that are slightly soft to the touch, with a deep yellow or slightly reddish skin. Avoid guavas that are too hard or have blemishes.
Prepare the guavas: Wash the guavas thoroughly and cut them into quarters. Remove the seeds and the tough central core.
Marinate the chicken: Combine the guava puree, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl. Add the chicken and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
Make the sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine the guava puree, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Serve the chicken: Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and serve immediately. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro.
