Preparación

1. 1

   Mince chicken: Cut the chicken by slicing diagonally. Then, gather the clumps of chicken together, and mince the pieces into even smaller pieces. Gather, flip the clump of chicken, and repeat.

2. 2

   Marinate chicken: Place your freshly minced chicken in a bowl, and add cornstarch, oyster sauce, and water.

3. 3

   Cut tofu: Using your tofu of choice (my dad is using soft tofu for this recipe), drain the water from packaging, and chop it into cubes.

4. 4

   Chop garlic, chilies, and green onion: Mince your garlic, chili peppers, and green onion.

5. 5

   Make cornstarch mix: In a bowl, mix together cornstarch and water until you have an even consistency. We'll be using this mix as a thickening agent for the final steps.

6. 6

   Cook garlic, chilies, and chicken: Set your stove to its highest setting, and wait a few minutes for your pan or wok to heat up.

7. 7

   Add flavors: Add bean sauce to the wok, stirring it around with the chicken for about 1 minute.

8. 8

   Add tofu & bring to boil: Add the tofu to the wok, gently stir it around, and cover the wok with a lid. Let it sit for about 3 minutes, when the wok starts to boil.

9. 9

   Add cornstarch, sesame oil: According to my dad, this step is the most important.
