Stir-fried chicken meat and gizzard with Chinese leeks


Ingredients:
1 boneless chicken thigh (cut into strips)
5 chicken gizzard (clean and cut into bite size pieces)
3 Chinese Leeks (sliced)
Dash of chicken stock granules (to taste)
Dash of dark soy sauce
Dash of grounded white pepper
Water

Marinade:
2 garlic cloves (peeled and minced)
2 slices ginger (peeled and finely chopped)
Pinch of salt
2 tsp cornflour
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tbsp water

Methods:

  1. In a bowl mix in all the marinade ingredients. 
  2. Add in the chicken thigh and gizzard, stir to mix until well coated and let it sit until time for cooking.
  3. In a heated wok, drizzle a bit of oil to coat the wok, add in the marinated chicken and gizzard and let it cook while stirring often.  Since the chicken gizzard takes more time to cook I dish out the chicken meat first and continue to cook for another minute with a dash of water if it is too dry.  
  4. Once the gizzard is cooked through add in the Chinese Leek slices and return the chicken meat into the wok and stir-fry  while adding some water, dash of dark soy sauce (to obtain a slight dark color to the dish), dash of chicken stock granules (to taste) and dash of grounded white pepper.
  5. Off the heat and dish onto a serving plate.
