Steps to Make It
Directions for Chicken in Garlic Sauce
-
Cut the chicken into thin strips about 2-inches long. Add the rice wine or sherry, green onion, and the cornstarch. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
-
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the bok choy and the sauce. Separate the bok choy leaves and stalks, and cut both cross-wise into thin strips.
-
Combine the sauce ingredients and set aside. Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and set aside.
-
Heat the wok and add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is ready, add the chicken and stir-fry until it turns white and is nearly cooked. (Stir-fry in two batches if necessary). Drain the stir-fried chicken on paper towels.
-
Clean out the wok and add 2 to 3 tablespoons oil. When oil is ready, add the bok choy stalks. Stir-fry briefly and add the leaves.
-
Push the bok choy up to the sides of the wok and add the sauce in the middle. Turn up the heat to bring to a boil. Give the cornstarch and water mixture and quick re-stir and then add it to the sauce, stirring rapidly to thicken.
-
Add the chicken. Mix through and serve hot.
