3-4 chicken breasts
2 cloves garlic
2 shallots
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Step 1

Thinly slice chicken breasts. Peel garlic and slice thinly. Peel shallots and slice the white and pale green parts. Slice the dark green parts and set aside for garnish.
Step 2

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger and sesame oil.
Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a frypan or wok. Stir-fry chicken in batches, removing to a plate when just done. Add a little more oil if required, then stir-fry garlic and shallots for 1 minute. Return chicken and toss to combine, then add shao hsing and stir well.
