Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken thinly and set aside.
  2. Cut the onion into thin slices and finely chop the garlic.
  3. Heat the oil in a hot pan.
  4. Add the chicken and cook quickly until lightly golden.
  5. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger.
  6. Stir-fry briefly until fragrant.
  7. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and honey.
  8. Let everything bubble for a moment so the sauce coats the chicken.
  9. Add the watercress and toss just until wilted.
  10. Finish with black pepper and serve immediately.

Typical mistakes to avoid

Don’t cook the watercress too long — it should stay bright and fresh.
Avoid overcrowding the pan; high heat keeps the chicken juicy.
