Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  2. 1 onion, chopped
  3. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  5. salt and pepper to taste
  6. 2 pounds bone-in chicken pieces, such as legs, thighs, and wings
  7. 1 tomato, diced
  8. 1 carrot, sliced
  9. 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
  10. 1 pound fresh snow peas, trimmed
  11. 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  12. 1 teaspoon water

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion and garlic in the olive oil until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir the oyster sauce into the mixture; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and mix; cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add the tomato, carrot, and celery; cover again and cook another 5 minutes. Cook the chicken pieces until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Fold the snow peas into the mixture.
  2. Whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until no lumps remain; stir into the liquid in the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.

I made this for my girlfriend who is Filipino and she said it was nostalgic. I followed this recipe precisely as I have predominantly cooked European dishes and it has turned out great.

It’s good. But 1 tablespoon does not mix into 1 teaspoon of water. I used 2 teaspoons.

Perfect recipe. I followed the directions and the meal came out exactly as expected. I wouldn’t change a thing. I was looking for a WOK meal that was easy and tasty, and this is the one. Thank you!!!!!
