Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- Optional: 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1 cup snow peas, 1 cup broccoli florets
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
- Stir-Fry the Chicken:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet or wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sliced onion, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
- Add Bell Peppers and Optional Vegetables:
- Add the sliced red and green bell peppers (and any optional vegetables like mushrooms, snow peas, or broccoli) to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Combine and Season:
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve:
- Serve the chicken stir-fried dish hot over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your delicious homemade chicken stir-fried dish!
Tips:
- Ensure your skillet or wok is hot enough to quickly stir-fry the ingredients to maintain their crispness.
- Feel free to adjust the sauce ingredients according to your taste preferences, adding more soy sauce for saltiness or hoisin sauce for sweetness.
- You can customize this dish with your favorite vegetables such as carrots, snap peas, or baby corn.
