Description

Chicken and tofu are cooked in the wok with vegetables and Chinese flavorings. Serve alone, with rice, or over noodles.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons Chinese rice wine
1 medium green onion, diced
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 green bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 (12 ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cubed
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons chili paste with garlic

Directions

1 In a medium bowl, mix the soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and rice wine. Place the green onion and chicken in the mixture. Allow to marinate at least 15 minutes.
2 In a wok over medium-high heat, cook and stir the chicken with the marinade mixture about 5 minutes until almost done. Toss in the garlic, onion, and peppers. Continue to cook and stir 5 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp but tender and chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
3 Mix the tofu, water, oyster sauce, and chili paste into the wok. Cook and stir until heated through.
