Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 400 g boneless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the edges are golden and chicken is cooked through.
- Step 2: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger to the skillet with the chicken. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Step 3: Add 1 thinly sliced small yellow onion, 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 1 sliced green bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Step 4: Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp chili paste, and 2 tbsp sesame oil. Cook for another 2 minutes, tossing everything to evenly coat the chicken and vegetables until the sauce thickens and glazes the stir fry.
- Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 chopped green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds over the top. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
