Stir fried chicken with onion

It's been a 6 year hiatus from cooking for me, ever since I moved to LA. Reason for the first five and half years was because I've been renting a room in someone's house, therefore, there was no access to the kitchen.

Ever since I moved to the new apartment, I've been wanting to give cooking a try. So, after putting it off for half a year, here comes some cooking...



This is actually the second dish I made.
It's onion stir fried with chicken strip.

I used:

1. Chicken - 1 lb
2. 1 onion
3. 3 table spoons of soy sauce
4. 1 table spoon of rice wine
5. 1 table spoon of sugar
6. a little bit of corn starch
7. 3 table spoons of oil
   

Direction:

• Slice chicken into strips, as thin as you like
• mix soy sauce, rice wine, sugar
• Marinate the chicken in the mixture, sprinkle a bit of corn starch on top, and stir
• Let it marinate for 10 minutes
• chop onion into strips
• Heat up the pan and add 3 table spoons of oil
• I used canola because it doesn't add any flavor of its own flavor into the food like olive oil
  
• stir fry the marinated chicken, dump the whole thing in there
• stir sparingly until the surface of the chicken is cooked
• add onion
• stir fry until the onion is half transparent and the chicken is done
• serve

That's it. It goes down pretty well with rice. The portion is probably big enough for two. Even I couldn't finish mine...



So another reason why I put off cooking most of the time is because there would always be left over rice. Usually I'd just leave it in the rice cooker and forget about it. By the time I rediscovered it, it probably has its own civilization growin in it. This time, however, I thought about making onigiri. It's perfect for a bento box the next day.
