Ingredients
  

  • 500 g boneless chicken cut into thin strips
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper thinly sliced

  • 1 tsp ginger minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp sugar

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, marinate the chicken with soy sauce, vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and cornstarch. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  5. Step 5: Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Mix well with the vegetables.
  6. Step 6: Pour in the chicken broth and add sugar. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  7. Step 7: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Remove from heat.
  8. Step 8: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

For extra heat, add a teaspoon of red chili flakes or extra chili garlic sauce. Adjust the sauce consistency by adding more broth if needed.
