Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips about the same size as the green pepper strips. Place the chicken in a bowl and add 2 g salt, 2 g sugar, 1 teaspoon light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon cooking wine, and a pinch of white pepper. Mix well, then add 1 teaspoon cornstarch and toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Add another 1 teaspoon oil and mix a couple more times so the oil coats the surface of the chicken. Set aside.
  2. Remove the seeds from the green peppers and cut them into thin strips. Finely chop the scallion and garlic, and cut the ginger into thin strips.
  3. Heat a wok or skillet, then add oil to the hot pan. Add the scallion, ginger, and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant.
  4. Add the chicken and spread it out in a single layer. Don't stir immediately; let it cook until the bottom changes color, then flip the chicken to cook the other side. Stir-fry a few more times.
  5. When the chicken is about halfway cooked, add the green pepper strips and stir-fry. If the pan looks too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water, cover, and cook for 1–3 minutes.
  6. Add salt to taste and stir well. Serve immediately.
