Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3–4 fresh jalapeños, sliced (remove seeds for less heat)
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons soy sauce (for sauce)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1–2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce (optional, for extra heat)
Cooked white rice or jasmine rice, for serving
Chopped green onions or sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl, toss chicken with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and cornstarch. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and nearly cooked through, about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Stir-fry jalapeños, bell pepper, and onion for 2–3 minutes until just tender.
Add garlic and ginger, and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return chicken to the pan. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and chili garlic sauce (if using). Stir to coat everything in the sauce.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and sauce thickens slightly.
Serve hot over rice. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds.
Notes
Adjust the number of jalapeños to control the spice level.
You can substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for variation.
Add snap peas, broccoli, or carrots for extra veggies.
