  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 1/2 lb cooked rib meat, shredded

  • 2 tbsp garlic powder

  • 1 tbsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tbsp chicken seasoning

  • 1 tbsp cornflour

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

  • 1 tbsp minced ginger

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 red chili, sliced (optional for heat)

  • 1 cup spinach leaves

  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 2 spring onions, sliced

  • Sauce (Slurry)

    • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce

    • 1 tbsp light soy sauce

    • 1 tbsp oyster sauce

    • 1 tbsp ketchup

    • 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce

    • 1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine (or rice vinegar)

    • 1 tsp cornflour

Instructions

  • Marinate the Chicken:
    In a bowl, mix chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, chicken seasoning, and cornflour. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes.

  • Make the Sauce:
    In a small bowl, whisk together dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, sweet chili sauce, Chinese cooking wine, and cornflour until smooth. Set aside.

  • Cook the Chicken:
    Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken in a single layer. Cook 5–7 minutes, turning until browned and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate.

  • Sauté Aromatics:
    In the same pan, add minced garlic and ginger. Cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Add chopped onion and sauté 2 more minutes.

  • Cook the Veggies:
    Add bell peppers and sliced chili. Turn heat to high and stir-fry 2–3 minutes until veggies are slightly charred but still crisp.

  • Add Sauce:
    Pour sauce into the pan. Stir well as it bubbles and thickens.

  • Finish the Dish:
    Add cooked chicken, rib meat, spring onions, spinach, and cherry tomatoes to the pan. Toss everything together and cook 1 more minute until spinach wilts.

 

  • Serve Hot:
    Plate up and enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Prefer saucier stir-fry? Double the sauce ingredients.

  • Substitute rib meat with pulled pork or skip if unavailable.

  • Use day-old rice if adding rice directly into the stir-fry.

 

  • Don’t skip the high heat—this keeps veggies crisp and sauce glossy.
