Ingredients

  • 1 lb Boneless chicken thighs, bite-sized
  • 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 large Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Coarsely ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons Light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
  • 0.5 cup Chicken stock
  • 4 pieces Large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
  • 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
  • 2 cups Steamed white rice

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, and half of the black pepper to create the braising liquid.

  2. 2

    Heat a tablespoon of oil in a wide skillet or wok over medium-high heat and sear the chicken pieces until browned but not fully cooked.

  3. 3

    Add the sliced onions and minced garlic to the pan, stir-frying for 2 minutes until the onions soften and the garlic is fragrant.

  4. 4

    Pour the braising liquid over the chicken and onions, then bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the remaining black pepper over the surface and let the liquid reduce slightly for about 3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Slowly pour the beaten eggs in a circular motion over the chicken, but do not stir them; let them set undisturbed for 1 minute.

  7. 7

    Cover the pan with a lid for 30 seconds to allow the steam to finish cooking the tops of the eggs until they are custardy and soft.

  8. 8

    Drizzle with sesame oil and green onions, then slide the mixture over bowls of warm steamed rice.
