Ingredients
400 g chicken thighs, cut into small pieces
2 cups scallions (green onions), chopped
4 tbsp oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
½ tbsp dark soy sauce
½ tbsp oyster sauce
½ tsp black pepper powder (adjust to taste)
2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
Prepare & Marinate
In a bowl, mix chicken thighs with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, and cornstarch. Marinate for 10 minutes.
Chop scallions, separating the white parts from the green parts.
Pan-Fry the Chicken
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and pan-fry until fully cooked and lightly golden.
Add Scallions
Add the white parts of the scallions to the pan and cook until softened and fragrant.
If using larger pieces, cover with a lid and cook until chicken is fully done.
Add the green parts of the scallions and stir-fry for 10–20 seconds.
Serve
Sprinkle with extra black pepper or scallions if desired. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
Notes
Chicken thighs stay juicier, but chicken breast can be used with shorter cooking time.
Separate scallion whites and greens for the best flavor and texture.
Add a splash of water or stock if the pan gets too dry.
