1 1/8 lb (500 grams) Chicken breast, cubed

3 tbs Aged soy sauce

4 tbs Cornstarch

1 large Egg, beaten

Sauce

4 tbs Aged soy sauce

2 tbs sugar

2 tbs Rice vinegar

1 tbs Toasted sesame oil

2 tsp Garlic, minced

1 tsp Ginger, minced

2 tbs Water

Method

Preparation

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine the chicken with soy sauce, cornstarch, and beaten egg. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red chili pepper flakes, and water. Set aside.

Cooking

3

Fry the Chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the marinated chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

4

Stir-fry the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add broccoli and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until just tender. Add the fried chicken back into the pan.

5

Combine with Sauce

Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

6

Serve

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with steamed rice.
