Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 500 chicken breast
Sauces and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Aromatics and Vegetables:
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 12 red chilies
- 1 bell pepper
- 2 green onions
Instructions
- Mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon oyster sauce with diced chicken breast. Allow it to absorb flavors at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Pour 2 tablespoons vegetable oil into a large skillet. Heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Toss 1 tablespoon minced ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves into hot oil. Sauté for exactly 45 seconds until fragrant.
- Add marinated chicken pieces to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until exterior turns golden brown.
- Introduce 12 sliced red chilies and 1 sliced bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry rapidly for 4 minutes, ensuring your chicken remains tender.
- Sprinkle 2 chopped green onions and drizzle 1 tablespoon sesame oil over the chicken. Toss everything together for 90 seconds.
- Transfer the spicy chicken directly onto serving plates. Pair with steamed rice or your favorite noodles for a complete meal.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken longer for deeper flavor absorption, up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Adjust chili quantity based on your heat tolerance, using milder peppers for a gentler kick.
- Choose boneless, skinless chicken thighs for more tenderness and richer taste.
- Gluten-free version works perfectly by swapping soy sauce with tamari and checking oyster sauce ingredients.
