1/4 cup water or chicken broth

Preparation Time:
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Directions:
Let the chicken marinate:
Put the cornflour, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and thinly sliced chicken in a bowl. After thoroughly mixing, let it marinade for ten minutes.
Prepare the Vegetables:
Cut the bell peppers, broccoli, carrot, and onion into slices while the chicken marinates. Grate the ginger and mince the garlic.
To cook the chicken:
Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. After adding the marinated chicken, sauté it for three to four minutes, or until it is cooked through and browned. Take out and put aside.
Vegetables:
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same skillet and stir-fry the vegetables. Add the ginger and garlic, and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Stir-fry the onions, carrots, and broccoli for two to three minutes. After that, sauté the bell peppers for an additional two minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Put the cooked chicken back in the skillet and simmer it. Stir everything together after adding the water or chicken broth. The sauce should gradually thicken after one to two minutes of simmering.
Serve:
Add chopped green onions and sesame seeds as garnish. Serve heated over noodles or cooked rice.
