Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Stir well to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add more chili garlic sauce or some sliced fresh chili peppers.
- Substitute the chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
