* 1 tablespoon sesame oil
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
* 1 cup broccoli florets
* 1 red bell pepper, sliced
* 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
* 1 cup snap peas
* 1 small onion, sliced
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
* For the Sauce:
* 1/4 cup soy sauce
* 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
* 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon cornstarch
* 2 tablespoons water

Step By Step Making

1
In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.

2
While the chicken marinates, prepare the stir-fry sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey or brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of water. Set aside.

3
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli florets, bell pepper slices, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

5
Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.

6
Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce into the skillet with the vegetables. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

7
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the chicken and vegetables with the sauce. Cook for another minute until heated through.

8
Serve hot, perhaps over steamed rice or noodles.
