Step 1
In a bowl, combine the chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, baking soda, sugar, cornflour, oil, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well and let it sit for a bit.
Step 2
Heat some oil in a pan, then add the spring onions, capsicum, and onions. Cook them gently on low heat for about 2-3 minutes, then take the pan off the stove and set the veggies aside.
Step 3
In another pan, warm up some oil and sauté the chopped garlic for 2-3 minutes over medium-low heat until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the marinated chicken to the garlic and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Step 5
Toss the sautéed veggies back into the pan with the chicken, mix everything together well, and then turn off the heat.
Step 6
Serve it hot and enjoy!
Serving Ideas To Try
Serve with steamed rice or buttery mashed potatoes to soak up the zesty sauce. A side of sautéed greens or a fresh salad adds a nice contrast and keeps the meal balanced. Garnish with chopped herbs for a fresh finish.
Leftover Storage Guide
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the chicken moist. Avoid overcooking when reheating to maintain tenderness.
