Introduction
This is a refreshing, delicious, and low-calorie healthy home-cooked dish. By stir-frying tender, juicy diced chicken breast with crisp diced cucumber and carrots, you create a colorful and nutritious meal. It is a high-protein choice that is perfect for those on a weight-loss journey.
Step 1
Wash the cucumber, peel partially (keeping some green skin adds aesthetic appeal and crunch), trim the ends, slice into four long strips, and dice.
Step 2
Place diced cucumber in a large bowl, add salt and sugar, mix well with chopsticks, and marinate for 20 minutes to draw out moisture and remove the grassy taste.
Step 3
Cut the clean chicken breast in half, slice into strips, then into uniform cubes.
Step 4
In the chicken cubes, add one tablespoon of oyster sauce, salt, a pinch of chicken powder, white pepper, rice wine, light soy sauce, and cornstarch. Massage well, then add a little cooking oil to lock in moisture. Set aside.
Step 5
Dice the carrots, mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the scallion whites. Set aside on a plate.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Peeling part of the cucumber removes most of the grassy taste while keeping some skin maintains a crisp texture. 💡
The marinated cucumber must be thoroughly rinsed with water to prevent the dish from becoming too salty. ⚠️
Adding cornstarch and cooking oil to the chicken marinade is the secret to keeping the breast tender and juicy by sealing in moisture. ✨
