Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken thighs or breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons ginger, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for extra heat)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.

Add the minced ginger and garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Add the chopped onions and cook until they become translucent and start to brown, about 5 minutes.

Cook the Chicken

Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until they are no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the sliced red and green bell peppers. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers are slightly tender but still crisp.

Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), hoisin sauce (if using), rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper.

Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld together. Add chili flakes if using.

Finish

Garnish with sliced green onions.

Enjoy your meal!
