Simple Chicken and Egg Stir-Fry
Ingredients:
- 1/4 pound boneless chicken breast, diced
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
- Fresh seaweed (chukawakame), optional
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- For the Marinade:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 5 tablespoons water
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. For the chicken, mix the salt, black pepper, and water to create a marinade. Toss the diced chicken in the marinade and let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
-
Sauté the Shallots: Heat a pan over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped shallots. Sauté until they become fragrant and slightly golden.
-
Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken (discarding any excess marinade) to the pan with the shallots. Stir-fry the chicken, cooking until it changes color and is fully cooked through.
-
Add the Egg: Pour the beaten egg into the pan with the chicken. Allow the egg to cook briefly before gently stirring and cutting it into pieces with a spatula to mix it evenly with the chicken.
-
Season to Taste: Adjust the seasoning according to your preference. A splash of soy sauce can be added for extra flavor if you like a saltier taste.
-
Finish and Serve: If using, sprinkle fresh seaweed (chukawakame) on top of the chicken and egg mixture. Serve the stir-fry immediately while hot.
