Instructions

Step 1: Cut 500 grams of boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces about 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Step 2: Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 5 minced garlic cloves and 3 thinly sliced red chili peppers, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Add the chicken pieces to the wok and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and edges start to brown.
Step 4: Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, and 1 teaspoon brown sugar. Continue tossing the chicken for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken.
Step 5: Add 2 sliced green onions and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, stir-frying for another minute until the onions soften slightly and the dish is aromatic. Serve immediately.
