IngredientsServes: 6

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• salt and pepper to taste
• 900g bone-in chicken pieces, such as legs, thighs and wings

• 2 sticks celery, sliced

• 1 tablespoon cornflour
• 1 teaspoon water

MethodPrep:20min ›Cook:20min ›Ready in:40min

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat; cook and stir the onion and garlic in the olive oil until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir the oyster sauce into the mixture; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and mix; cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add the tomato, carrot and celery; cover again and cook another 5 minutes. Cook the chicken pieces until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear. Fold the mangetout into the mixture.
2. Whisk the cornflour and water together in a small bowl until no lumps remain; stir into the liquid in the frying pan. Allow the mixture to simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Perfect recipe. I followed the directions and the meal came out exactly as expected. I wouldn't change a thing. I was looking for a WOK meal that was easy and tasty, and this is the one. Thank you!!!!!-12 Apr 2012

I made this for my girlfriend who is Filipino and she said it was nostalgic. I followed this recipe precisely as I have predominantly cooked European dishes and it has turned out great.-27 Jun 2016
