OYSTER SAUCE CHICKEN WITH BOK CHOY
Steps:
- For the chicken: In a large bowl, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the cornstarch and toss to coat.
- For the sauce: In another smaller bowl, combine the stock, cornstarch, oyster sauce, soy sauce and chili sauce. Mix well and set aside.
- For the stir-fry: Heat a wok over high heat and, when the wok starts to smoke, add the peanut oil. Add the ginger and stir-fry for a few seconds. Then add the chicken, let settle for 1 minute, and then stir-fry for 3 minutes more. As the chicken starts to turn opaque, add the rice wine and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Stir in the reserved sauce and bring to a boil. Add the mushrooms and bok choy stalks and cook for 1 minute. Then stir in the bok choy leaves and cook for another minute. Remove from the heat and stir in half the scallions. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with the remaining scallions and serve immediately.
CLAY-POT CHICKEN IN OYSTER SAUCE
This dish is terrific on a cold winter night. I got the recipe from "A Spoonful of Ginger" by Nina Simonds. Also, I like the way the chicken is browned in step 2 and use that method whenever I have a recipe that calls for browning chicken. Prep time includes marinating time.

Steps:
- Mix the marinade ingredients in a large bowl, add the chicken pieces and turn to coat them with the marinade.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate for 30 minute or longer in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 475° Arrange the chicken pieces, with the marinade and the drained black mushrooms, on cookie sheets lined with aluminum foil.
- Roast for 15 minutes, turning once, until the skin is golden. Remove.
- Transfer the browned chicken and mushrooms to a clay pot, dutch oven, or a casserole with a lid. Add the braising sauce and heat until the liquid is boiling.
- Reduce the heat to medium, partially cover, and cook for 45 minutes, until the meat is very tender.
- Skim any fat from the surface.
- The sauce should be slightly thick. If it hasn't thickened sufficiently, heat until boiling, add a little cornstarch dissolved in water, and cook, stirring, until the sauce has a smooth coating consistency.
- Scoop the chicken and sauce onto a serving platter or serve from the pot.
- Steamed rice and a vegetable go good with this dish.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality chicken. This will ensure that your dish is flavorful and juicy.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, texture, and nutrients to your dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will not cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from drying out.
- Use a good quality oyster sauce. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Serve the chicken with rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Oyster sauce chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
