*RECIPE*
INGREDIENTS:
2 chicken breasts
2 medium onions
1 large bell pepper/capsicum
2 tbsp cornstarch/cornflour
1-2 tsp crushed black pepper
2 tbsp oil
—Sauce—
3 tbsp light/regular soy sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp rice/white vinegar
1/2 tbsp grated ginger
1/2 tbsp grated garlic
1/2 tbsp minced green chilli (optional)
*salt may not be needed. Taste and add at the end if required

PROCESS:
1. Cut onions and bell pepper/capsicum into cubes. Try to keep them evenly sized
2. Cut chicken into 1 inch thick cubes. Try to keep them evenly sized
3. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl
4. Coat chicken with 1 tbsp of the sauce and 2 tbsp cornstarch and set aside for 15 minutes
5. Heat up a wok or pan on medium flame. Heat 2 tbsp cooking oil and fry the chicken on both sides until cooked through
6. Fry in batches for a crisp outer coating. The chicken should be done in 2-3 minutes per side. Check a piece for doneness and set aside

SUBSTITUTES:
• No fresh ginger or garlic?
Use 1 tsp of the powdered version

• No dark soy sauce?
Replace with 1/2 tsp soy sauce + 1 tsp sugar

• No green bell peppers?
Any kind of bell pepper works. Bell pepper can be skipped too

TIPS:
• Fry chicken in batches if the pan can’t hold all the pices in a single layer. Otherwise the chicken will release water and steam
• Add the chicken once the oil is hot so it starts frying right away
• The veggies must stay crunchy so don’t overcook it
• Add pepper as per spice tolerance
