👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Prepare chicken & marinade: In a mixing bowl, add salt, sugar, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine, chicken powder, cornstarch, and water. Give it a nice stir until it's an even consistency.
2. 2Prepare vegetables: Time to prepare the rainbow!
3. 3Heat stove, create another cornstarch mix: Set the stove to high heat. Then, with a small mixing bowl or cup, mix cornstarch and water.
4. 4Partially cook chicken: Once your wok is hot enough, add oil, and half of the ginger and garlic you prepared previously.
5. 5Cook vegetables: Before cooking the vegetables, add oil (less than we used for the chicken), and the remainder of the ginger and garlic into the wok.
6. 6Add flavors: After stirring the vegetables for about a minute or two, add cooking wine, sugar, salt, and oyster sauce into the wok. Continue stirring.
7. 7Add chicken & water before covering wok: Add the chicken back into the wok, along with a bit of water to help generate some steam for the ingredients to cook.
8. 8Add final cornstarch mix: The all-important step: pour the cornstarch mix (cornstarch & water) from earlier into the wok. This helps tie all of the flavors together, almost literally.
9. 9Serve immediately: Winner winner, chicken dinner! It's done.
