Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Chicken thigh 1 piece (approx. 250g)
- Green bell pepper 1
- Cashews 30g-40g
- Green onion 5cm
- Ginger 1 piece
- Egg 1/3
- Potato Starch 1 tsp
Seasonings
- [A] Salt a pinch
- [A] Pepper a pinch
- [B] Soy sauce 1 tbsp
- [B] Oyster sauce 1/2 tsp
- [B] Water 2 tbsp
- [B] Chicken powder a pinch
- [B] Sugar 1/2 tsp
- [B] Potato Starch slurry 2 tsp

Steps
- Slice the green onion lengthwise, open it up, and cut into 1cm cubes. Slice the ginger thinly and cut into 1cm cubes as well. Dice the green bell pepper.
- Cut into the thickest part of the chicken thigh with a knife to open it up, and pound to tenderize the sinew. Dice into the same size as the green bell pepper.
- Place the cut chicken thigh into a bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper, and mix well until it becomes sticky.
- Add 1/3 egg to the sticky chicken and mix further. Once the egg is absorbed by the chicken, add 1 tsp potato starch and mix. 【This is the secret!】 Applying this marinade (Jiang) enhances the chicken's flavor, resulting in a juicy and tender texture.
- In a bowl, combine 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp oyster sauce, 2 tbsp water, a pinch of chicken powder, and 1/2 tsp sugar. Mix well to create the sauce.
- Prepare 2 tsp potato starch slurry.
- Heat oil (not listed) in a frying pan and add the green bell pepper for flash-frying. Remove once cooked.
- In the same oil, add the marinated chicken thigh and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove and drain the oil once cooked.
- Discard the oil from the frying pan, add the 5cm green onion and 1 piece ginger, and stir-fry until fragrant.
- Return the chicken to the pan with the fragrant green onion and ginger, and mix briefly. Pour in the well-mixed sauce.
- Add 1 tbsp sesame oil to the frying pan and let it become fragrant.
- Add the 30g-40g cashews and the flash-fried green bell pepper, and toss vigorously to combine everything.
- Serve on a plate to complete the dish.
