Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

- In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
