Cooking Steps

  • 1
    Marinate the chicken (optional) - If you have time, marinate the chicken in a bowl with one tablespoon of soy sauce and one tablespoon of rice vinegar for 10-15 minutes for extra flavor.
  • 2
    Cook the chicken - Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and one teaspoon sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces. Season with salt and white pepper. Cook for 1 minute without moving them too much.
  • 3
    Add flavorings - Add one tablespoon of butter, one tablespoon of soy sauce, and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and browned. If using, add one tablespoon of oyster sauce at this point and stir to combine.
  • 4
    Remove chicken - Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • 5
    Season vegetables - Add 1/2 tablespoon butter, one tablespoon soy sauce, salt, and pepper to the vegetables. Sauté until fork-tender, about 2-3 minutes. Don't overcook them!
  • 6
    Repeat with remaining vegetables - Set aside the cooked vegetables and repeat steps 5 and 6 with the remaining vegetables.
  • 7
    Make the Yum Yum Sauce - While the vegetables cook (or while the chicken marinates), whisk together all ingredients for the Yum Yum sauce in a small bowl. Add sriracha to taste for a spicier sauce.
  • 8
    Serve - Plate your cooked chicken and vegetables. Drizzle with Yum Yum sauce and serve immediately with rice (steamed or fried) if desired.

Tips

For the best results, use high-quality chicken breasts. Thinly slicing the chicken will ensure it cooks quickly and evenly.To ensure a good sear on the chicken, make sure your pan is boiling before adding it. Don't overcrowd the pan; cook the chicken in batches if necessary.Adjust the amount of soy sauce and seasonings to your taste preference.Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, such as broccoli florets, bell peppers, or onions.
