Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Marinate with soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch for 15 minutes.
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the bell pepper and zucchini. Chop the green onions and mince the garlic and ginger.
Stir-Fry the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Combine and Sauce
Return the chicken to the pan. Add the peanuts, rice vinegar, and chili paste. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until well combined.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with steamed rice.
