Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a nonstick pan over medium high heat.
  • Add onion, ginger garlic and saute until golden brown.
  • Add soy sauce, oyster sauce (optional), vinegar, black pepper, salt, red chili flakes, cornstarch and water. Mix thoroughly.
    Note: You can dissolve the cornstarch in the broth or water and then pour that mixture into the pan but I usually don't do it. 
  • Add the chicken.
  • Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes.
  • Uncover and cook on medium high heat so as to reduce the liquid a bit.
  • Add the green peppers and cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Serve with rice and enjoy!
