Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 30 grams Fresh ginger
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Bell pepper
• 2 stalks Spring onions
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and julienne the ginger. Mince the garlic cloves. Slice the carrot and bell pepper into thin strips. Chop the spring onions into 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Mix until smooth to form the stir-fry sauce.

Step 4

Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic, stir-frying until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Increase the heat to high and add the chicken strips. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.

Step 7

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add the carrot and bell pepper, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the wok and pour in the stir-fry sauce. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Add the chopped spring onions, stir-fry for 1 more minute, then remove from heat.

Step 10

Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
