1. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
