Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast or pork tenderloin
- 2 medium Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 stalks Spring onions (for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast or pork tenderloin into thin strips and set aside.
Cut the bell peppers into thin strips, julienne the carrot, and slice the onion into wedges. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, a pinch of chili flakes (if using), cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely. Set the sauce aside.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add the chicken or pork strips to the wok in a single layer. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the meat is browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked meat from the wok and set it aside.
In the same wok, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the minced garlic and sliced onion. Stir fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the bell peppers and carrot strips. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken or pork to the wok. Pour the prepared sauce over the meat and vegetables.
Stir everything together, ensuring the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Drizzle sesame oil over the stir fry and toss again to combine.
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped spring onions, and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
