Chinese chicken in oyster sauce

Tonight's dinner. Easy and delicious. Not spicy.

1/2 lb. chicken breast, sliced finely

Marinade:
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 inch cube ginger, chopped
2 T soy sauce

Chopped veggies:
1 red pepper, 1 onion, 1 small head broccoli, 1 carrot

Sauce:
1/2 T oyster sauce
1/2 t sesame oil
1/2 t cornstarch mixed with a little water

Mix the ginger, garlic and soy sauce. Marinate the chicken for 1 hour.
Heat wok, add oil. Stir fry the chicken over a low heat for 5 mins.
Add the vegetables and stir fry for a further 5 mins.
Add the sauce ingredients and simmer for 5 mins.
Serve with guess what.*

I skipped the carrot because I didn't have any, and used Napa cabbage instead of broccoli (ditto). I love Napa cabbage stir fried in Chinese dishes, it's so juicy and delicate. It was a yummy and simple dinner which I thoroughly enjoyed.

*rice :-)
