This is my own variation of dry fry chicken starter with oyster sauce. A fusion variety, it's one of the favourite of all my family members and friends. Quite easy and a quick recipe which can be cooked even when your guests have already arrived.
The ingredients are:-
Boneless Chicken- 250 gms
Bell Pepper- 2
Onions- 2
Oyster Sauce- 2tbsp
Soy Sauce- 1tbsp
Salt to taste
MSG-1tsp
Garlic and ginger chopped coarsely-1tbsp
Eggs-2
Cornflour-2tbsp
Method:-
Heat enough oil in a wok.Prepare a batter with cornflour,eggs,salt and a little water. Dip the boneless chicken pieces in the batter and deep fry.Drain and keep aside in an absorbent towel.
In the same wok after removing excess oil, add the chopped ginger-garlic and stir fry.Now add the sliced onion and bell pepper and stir fry for a minute.Notice that they don't become too soft.Add the deep fried chicken pieces and add the MSG, oyster sauce, soy sauce, a dash of sugar and salt and a little cornflour mixed with water.
Relish chicken in oyster sauce either as a starter or as a side dish with fried rice.

Hello, I am Aki from Tokyo.
Nice recipe!I like Oyster sauce taste,too.
Taste of Oyster and soy sauce is quite different from Indian recipes.
Do you often make Chinese style recipes?

MSG means Mono Sodium Glutamate which is not recommended for infants below 12 months. But it gives a good taste to ur chinese food.
