Ginger Chicken Stir Fry
This ginger chicken stir fry is exactly the kind of dish I love: simple, flavorful, and elegant without being fussy. It’s a quick weeknight dinner that feels just a little bit special, especially when served over warm rice with something crisp and fresh on the side.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion sliced
- 2 cups fresh ginger cut into matchsticks (measure after cutting)
- 4 garlic cloves minced

- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- Rice for serving

- Use a slotted spatula to transfer the vegetables to a plate, leaving the oil in the pan.
- Add 1 pound chicken breast, 3 Tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, 1 teaspoon soy sauce and 2 Tablespoons sugar to the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is just about cooked through.
