# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Combine chicken strips with soy sauce, egg, cornstarch, and flour in a mixing bowl. Toss to coat evenly and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes.
02 -
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry marinated chicken pieces in batches until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
03 -
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for 30 seconds until aromatic.
04 -
Add sliced red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just tender.
05 -
Stir in chili garlic sauce, ketchup, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and red chili flakes. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
06 -
Return fried chicken to the skillet. Toss until chicken pieces are thoroughly coated with sauce. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.
07 -
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds or cashews. Serve hot.
