Ingredients

1 lb Boneless Chicken

3 scallions or green onion with stems

2 long Chinese eggplants

1/2 cup thinly sliced bamboo shoots

1 red bell pepper

3 tbs of oyster sauce

2 tbs of soy sauce

2 tbs of sweet and sour sauce

3 cloves of garlic

5 slivers of sushi ginger ( or 1/2 inch of ginger)

4 tbs of water

8-10 leaves of basil

3 tbs of oil

Directions

Chop your chicken into bite sized pieces and set aside

Dice your scallions, eggplant and bell pepper and set aside

Heat a wok on the highest possible flame and when hot add your scallions and cook for 2 min, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon and remove to a dish.

To the same wok, add your cubed bell pepper and cook on high flame for about 5 min, stirring constantly

Add your bamboo shoots, cook on high for about 2 min and set aside

Do the same with the eggplant, while cooking after about 4 min, add your 2 tbs of oil and fry for another 3-4 min and set aside ( the eggplant should soak all the oil)

Using a mortar and pestle, pulverize your garlic and ginger.

Add 1 tbs of oil in the wok and again on the highest heat possible, fry your ginger and garlic for about 1 min.

Add your diced chicken to this and cook for 3-4 mins

Add your oyster sauce, soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce and water and cook for another 6 min.

Add your veggies and basil and cook for 4 mins.

Serve with hot white rice or noodles.

This look great! What brand of sauces do you use? I love oriental food. My husband is Korean but I haven't had the time to try and master the cuisine.
