Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

2 teaspoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 medium onion, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

1 bell pepper (any color), sliced

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

2-3 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Salt, to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

    Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

      Add Aromatics: Add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft. Then add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute).

        Cook the Chicken: Increase the heat to high and add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Spread the chicken pieces out in a single layer and let them sear for about 3-4 minutes without stirring. Then stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).

          Add Vegetables: Mix in the sliced bell pepper and snap peas. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

            Season: Sprinkle the freshly cracked black pepper over the chicken and vegetables. Drizzle in the rice vinegar and season with salt to taste. Toss everything together to combine well.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
