Ingredients:

300g skinless chicken breast
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp cornflour
3 spring onions (white parts only), shredded
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp dry sherry
125g fresh bean sprouts
½ cup chicken stock
1 tsp cornflour


Method:

1. Slice, then finely shred the chicken and marinate with soy sauce, sugar and cornflour for 20 minutes. (See Note).
2. Stir-fry the spring onions in the oil for 30 seconds, push to one side of the pan and stir-fry the chicken. Add the sherry.

Note: Marination is essential when cooking by the fast stir-fry method, to allow seasonings to penetrate.
