Sweet & Tangy Chicken Stir-fry (with Wood Ear & Bamboo)

4.0

For the chicken

10 oz chicken breast or thigh, cut into thin strips (≈ 280 g)

2 tsp light soy sauce (≈ 10 ml)

1 tsp cornstarch (≈ 3 g)

1 pinch fine salt

1 Tbsp water (≈ 15 ml)

1 tsp neutral oil (≈ 5 ml)

For the sauce

2 Tbsp black rice vinegar (≈ 30 ml)

1 Tbsp light soy sauce (≈ 15 ml)

½ Tbsp dark soy sauce (≈ 7–8 ml)

2 Tbsp sugar (≈ 24–25 g)

1 ½ Tbsp cornstarch (≈ 12 g)

3 Tbsp unsalted chicken stock (≈ 45 ml) (alcohol-free swap for rice wine)

2 Tbsp water (≈ 30 ml)

For the stir-fry

3 Tbsp neutral oil, divided (≈ 45 ml)

2 Tbsp pickled chili, finely chopped (adjust to taste)

2 tsp minced garlic (about 2 small cloves)

1 tsp minced ginger

½ cup julienned carrot (≈ 60 g)

½ cup rehydrated wood ear mushrooms, julienned (see Notes)

½ cup julienned bamboo shoots (≈ 70 g)

1 scallion, finely chopped

Marinate the chicken
In a bowl, toss chicken strips with light soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and water until the liquid is absorbed. Rub in 1 tsp oil to coat.
Stir the sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together black rice vinegar, chicken stock, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside and give it a stir again just before using.
Sear the chicken
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until hot. Add 2 Tbsp oil, then the marinated chicken. Stir-fry just until the chicken turns opaque and lightly seared, 60–90 seconds. Transfer to a plate.
Stir-fry the aromatics & veggies
Add the remaining 1 Tbsp oil to the wok. Sauté pickled chili, garlic, and ginger until fragrant (about 20–30 seconds). Add wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and carrot. Stir-fry until just tender-crisp, 1–2 minutes.
Combine & sauce
Return chicken (and any juices) to the wok. Toss for 30 seconds. Lower heat to medium-low, whisk the sauce again, then pour it in. Stir continuously; it will thicken to a glossy coating in 30–60 seconds.
Turn off the heat and fold in the scallion. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
