Description
A delicious and spicy chicken dish featuring tender chicken thighs marinated in a savory sauce with black pepper and vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked white rice or steamed vegetables (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Add the sliced onion, garlic, ginger, and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more black pepper or soy sauce as desired.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot over cooked white rice or alongside steamed vegetables.
Notes
- For a sweeter flavor, add a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar to the marinade.
- Substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
