Homemade Chicken Chop Suey

Ingredients:

1. 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
2. ½ tsp baking soda
3. 2 tbsp vegetable oil
4. 2 tbsp garlic, minced
5. 1 small white onion, sliced
6. 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
7. 1 cup celery, sliced
8. 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
9. 1 cup bean sprouts
10. 1 cup cabbage, shredded
11. 1 cup snap peas
12. ¼ cup soy sauce
13. 2 tbsp oyster sauce
14. 1 tbsp cornstarch
15. 1 cup chicken broth
16. Salt and pepper to taste
17. Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)
18. Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced chicken with the baking soda. Let it sit for 15 minutes. This helps to tenderize the chicken.
2. After 15 minutes, rinse the chicken thoroughly under cold water to remove the baking soda. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
3. Cook the Chicken:
   Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
4. Add the chicken to the pan, cooking until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
5. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
6. In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
7. Add the minced garlic and sliced white onion. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
8. Add the carrots, celery, mushrooms, cabbage, and snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
9. Add the bean sprouts and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
10. Make the Sauce:
    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and chicken broth.
    Pour the sauce into the pan with the vegetables, stirring to combine.
11. Combine Chicken and Vegetables:
12. Add the cooked chicken back into the pan with the vegetables and sauce. Stir everything together until the chicken is heated through and the sauce has thickened.
