Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 300 grams bok choy
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 units green onions
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.

Step 2

In the bowl with the chicken, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the ginger and garlic. Set them aside.

Step 4

Wash and chop the bok choy into large bite-sized pieces, separating the stems from the leafy greens. Slice the green onions diagonally and set aside for garnish.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Step 7

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same pan. Toss in the minced ginger and garlic, and stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the bok choy stems to the pan and stir-fry for 2 minutes, followed by the bok choy greens. Cook for another 2 minutes until slightly wilted but still crisp.

Step 9

Return the chicken to the pan and pour in the chicken broth, oyster sauce, and remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 11

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
