Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 400 g thinly sliced chicken breast and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the edges turn golden and the meat is nearly cooked through.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the wok, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
  3. Step 3: Toss in 1 medium each of red and green bell peppers, julienned, and continue stir-frying for 2 minutes until they soften but retain crunch.
  4. Step 4: Mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl, then pour into the wok. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and peppers.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1/4 tsp black pepper and 2 sliced green onion stalks, toss briefly, then remove from heat and serve immediately.
