Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with water

Method
 

  1. Wash the chicken breasts and slice them into thin strips. Wash the spinach leaves and set them aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the sliced chicken to the pan. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring often, until the chicken turns white and lightly golden.

  8. Pour in the cornstarch mixture and stir continuously for 1 minute until the sauce slightly thickens.
  9. Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir fry and mix well.
