      Directions

      In a medium bowl, sprinkle the chicken with salt, ground white pepper and the oyster sauce. Add 2 tablespoons cornstarch, toss to coat and set aside.

      Heat a wok over high heat and add the vegetable oil. Throw in the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for less than 1 minute. Add the chicken breast and stir-fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. As the chicken begins to brown, add the rice wine. Sprinkle with the crushed dried red chiles and Chinese five-spice powder. Add the carrots, white parts of the bok choy and shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the water chestnuts, bok choy leaves, chicken stock, dark soy and light soy sauces and bring to a boil. Stir well and allow the sauce to thicken for a minute. Garnish with the chopped scallions and serve immediately.

        I made this last night and it turned out amazingly well! There are a lot of ingredients but as long as you do your prep work ahead and pre-measure, once you start cooking it goes swiftly and easily. I made vegetable fried rice to serve with it and I used vegetable stock instead of chicken. The red chile flakes gave it good heat, though I used less than 1/2 tsp. I had plenty for leftovers and it was just as delicious tonight. Awesome dish that I will definitely be making again!
