Cách làm

1. 1

   Cut the chicken by slicing diagonally. Then, gather the clumps of chicken together, and mince the pieces into even smaller pieces. Gather, flip the clump of chicken, and repeat.

2. 2

   Place your freshly minced chicken in a bowl, and add cornstarch, oyster sauce, and water.

3. 3

   Using your tofu of choice (my dad is using soft tofu for this recipe), drain the water from packaging, and chop it into cubes.

4. 4

   Mince your garlic, chili peppers, and green onion.

5. 5

   In a bowl, mix together cornstarch and water until you have an even consistency. We'll be using this mix as a thickening agent for the final steps.

6. 6

   Set your stove to its highest setting, and wait a few minutes for your pan or wok to heat up.

7. 7

   Add bean sauce to the wok, stirring it around with the chicken for about 1 minute.

8. 8

   Add the tofu to the wok, gently stir it around, and cover the wok with a lid. Let it sit for about 3 minutes, when the wok starts to boil.

9. 9

   According to my dad, this step is the most important.

    We're done! You're almost ready to eat your delicious creation.
