Chicken Chinese Vege

Chicken Chinese Vegetable (sometimes misspelled as "Chinese Vege") is a popular dish commonly served in Chinese-American restaurants in the United States. It's a stir-fry dish made with chicken, vegetables, and a savory sauce.

Here's a breakdown of the dish:

Ingredients:

Preparation:

1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sugar, vinegar, and cornstarch.

2. Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

3. Prepare the vegetables: Cut the bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, snow peas, and water chestnuts into bite-sized pieces.

4. Cook the chicken: Heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

5. Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, snow peas, and water chestnuts. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

6. Add the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sugar, vinegar, and cornstarch. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and bring to a simmer.

7. Combine the chicken and vegetables: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, and stir to coat the chicken and vegetables in the sauce.

8. Serve: Serve the Chicken Chinese Vegetable hot, garnished with sesame seeds and scallions (if desired).
