Instructions
Creating Black Pepper Chicken can be simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes for optimal flavor.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
4. Add Aromatics: Toss in the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the sliced red and green bell peppers, as well as the sliced onion. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
6. Season: Taste the dish and season with salt if necessary, keeping in mind the saltiness of the soy sauce.
7. Finish with Green Onions: Just before serving, toss in the chopped green onions for a fresh crunch.
8. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and serve immediately over cooked rice.
By following these steps, your Black Pepper Chicken will be packed with flavor and deliciously satisfying!
