Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 cups mushrooms (cleaned and quartered)
- 1 large zucchini (cut into half circles)
- 3 minced garlic cloves

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and corn starch. Add chicken slices and coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce: In another bowl, combine water, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and corn starch. Set aside.
- Cook the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat until hot. Add marinated chicken in a single layer and cook until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from skillet.
- Stir-fry vegetables: In the same skillet, add mushrooms and zucchini. Stir-fry until crisp-tender (about 2-3 minutes).
- Combine ingredients: Return chicken to the skillet along with garlic and ginger. Cook for an additional minute.
- Add sauce: Pour in the prepared sauce mixture, stirring until everything is well-coated and the sauce thickens.
