Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast about 500g
- 3 large bell peppers
- 1 cup onions
- 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and white pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Sesame seed to serve
Simple stir fry ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 Tablespoon sweet chili sauce
- ⅓ cup chicken stock
- 1 Tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine
- ½ tablespoon sesame oil
- ½ Tablespoon garlic paste
- ½ Tablespoon ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cornflour
- ⅓ cup Water
Instructions
- Make the stir fry sauce: To a jar or a bowl, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing rice vinegar, sweet chili sauce, chicken stock, ginger paste, garlic paste, brown sugar, cornflour, sesame oil, and water. Cover the jar tightly and give the sauce a good shake until combined. Alternatively, whisk the ingredients together until well combined and lump-free.
- Cut the chicken breast into bite sizes. Chop the bell peppers and onions into chunks or however, you prefer and set them aside.
- Place a skillet on medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Add salt, pepper, and one tablespoon of the prepared stir-fry sauce. Cook the chicken until it is white and no longer pink. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat until hot. Add chopped bell peppers and onions and saute for 1-2 minutes or until crisp-tender.
- Return the cooked diced chicken to the sauteed veggies and stir to combine.
- Pour the prepared stir fry sauce into the chicken and peppers and stir to combine. Add red pepper flakes. Cook until the sauce thickens, syrupy looking (say 1 minute or so). Take it off the heat and serve with rice or noodles. Enjoy!
