02 - Combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper in a small bowl. Stir well to blend and set aside.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with a pinch of salt, then add to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
