Ingredients

Directions

  1. Slice the chicken into thin, bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, the wine, and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat and let marinate for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
  4. Add the marinated chicken to the hot oil and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is seared and opaque on all sides.
  5. Add the shredded zucchini, sliced bamboo shoots, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 3/4 cup of water to the wok.
  6. Stir well to combine all ingredients and bring the liquid to a simmer.
  7. Cover and cook on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or soy sauce if needed.
  9. Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and serve immediately while hot.
