Step 1

Place the chicken on a plate, then sprinkle the cornstarch, salt, and pepper, and toss them until evenly coated. Place a wok on a stove over high heat, then add the oil, and heat it until very hot.

Add in the peas and peppers, then continue to stir fry for an additional 2 minutes, and then add in the garlic, soy sauce, Chinese rice vinegar, brown sugar, sweet chili sauce, and tomato ketchup.

Step 4

Give them a good toss and continue to cook over high heat until heated through, then check the doneness of the chicken, and once the inside is no longer pink, add in the chopped spring onions and chili.

Step 5

Continue to stir to combine, then heat for another minute until hot, and then turn off the heat. Serve with rice or noodles and enjoy!
