- ●1 unit frozen chicken breast (partially thawed)
- ●2 large eggs
- ●1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- ●2 garlic cloves, minced
- ●1 cup carrots, julienned
- ●2 tbsp soy sauce
- ●1 tsp sesame oil
- ●1 tbsp vegetable oil
- ●1 tsp cornstarch
- ●2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- 1Run the frozen chicken breast under warm water for 5 minutes to slightly thaw the exterior, then slice very thinly against the grain (semi-frozen meat is easier to slice thinly).
- 2Whisk the eggs in a small bowl with a pinch of salt.
- 3In a separate small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, minced ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and cornstarch.
- 4Heat half of the vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the eggs and scramble quickly until just set, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- 5Add the remaining oil to the hot pan. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- 6Add the julienned carrots and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- 7Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables, tossing constantly for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats everything glossy.
- 8Fold the scrambled eggs back into the pan to warm through.
- 9Divide into two small bowls and garnish with sliced green onions before serving immediately.
