Pepper Chicken Stir Fry

Steps

1. 1

   Slice the chicken breast into slabs.

2. 2

   In a bowl, season the chicken with 1/3 tsp of salt, 1.5 tsp of cornstarch, 1 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine, minced garlic, and ginger. Mix well and set it aside to marinate.

3. 3

   In a separate sauce bowl, combine 1.5 tbsp of soy sauce, 1.5 tbsp of oyster sauce, 2 tsp of dark soy sauce, 2 tsp of Chinese black vinegar, 1/2 tsp of white pepper, 1 tsp of sugar, 2 tsp of cornstarch, and 1/2 cup of stock or water. Whisk until the sugar and cornstarch are dissolved.

4. 4

   Slice the green and red chili peppers. If you prefer a milder dish, substitute these with sliced bell peppers.

5. 5

   Turn the heat to high and heat your carbon steel wok until it is smoking hot.

6. 6

   Add 1.5 tbsp of cooking oil and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the wok.

7. 7

   Add the marinated chicken to the wok and spread it out. Let it sear on one side without moving it initially.

8. 8

   Stir-fry the chicken for a couple of minutes until it changes color.

9. 9

   Push the chicken to one side of the wok and add the sliced chilies to the center. Cover the chilies with the chicken for about a minute to help them cook faster.

    Continue to stir-fry everything together until the chicken and peppers reach your desired doneness.

11. 11

    Pour in the prepared sauce mixture and stir constantly until the sauce has thickened and coated the ingredients.

    Serve immediately with white rice.
