Method

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

Make the Sauce

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well and set aside.

Coat the Chicken

In a separate bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch until well-coated.

Fry the Chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and drain on paper towels.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add bok choy and sliced chili peppers. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the bok choy is tender but still crisp.

Combine and Serve

Return the chicken to the skillet, pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, and toss to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
