Spicy Mala Chicken & Egg Stir-fry
A quick, tongue-tingling fusion stir-fry combining succulent pre-cooked chicken with aromatic garlic, onion, and the bold, numbing heat of mala spice.
The Method
How it's made
- 01
Heat the mustard oil and soy oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 02
Add the sliced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and the onions are translucent.
- 03
Push the aromatics to the side of the pan and pour in the beaten eggs, scrambling them until just set.
- 04
Add the pre-cooked black pepper chicken slices to the pan and toss everything together to heat through.
- 05
Sprinkle the mala powder over the mixture, tossing vigorously to ensure the chicken and eggs are evenly coated with the spice.
- 06
Remove from heat immediately and serve hot, garnished with scallions if desired.
Mustard oil has a pungent flavor; if you prefer a milder taste, use more soy oil and a smaller amount of mustard oil.
- ¶Since the chicken is pre-cooked and seasoned with black pepper, taste before adding extra salt as the mala powder may already contain seasoning.
