- In another bowl: mix all the ingredients for the sauce together.
- In a wok pan, heat the oil over high heat and fry the chicken for about 3 minutes. Keep stirring so that the chicken gets crispy on all sides. Then place the chicken on a plate.
- Put the wok on medium-high heat. Fry the ginger and garlic in 1 tablespoon of oil. Keep stirring.
- Then fry the sliced bell bell pepper in it as well for about 4 minutes.
- Add the sauce and put the heat on low. Let everything simmer on low heat and keep stirring until everything is thick enough that you can make a path through it with your spoon.
- Finally, add the chicken and stir so that the chicken is well covered with the sauce. Do this quickly so your chicken stays crispy. Place it on a plate and serve with rice.
