80g
1 tbsp oyster sauce

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

2. Heat the Oils:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the peanut oil and sesame oil over medium-high heat until hot.
3. Cook the Chicken:
- Add the diced chicken to the hot skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Aromatics:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, julienned carrots, and sliced red hot chili peppers. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

6. Combine Ingredients:
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the oyster sauce and soy sauce. Toss everything together to coat the ingredients evenly with the sauce.
7. Cook and Serve:
- Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is well combined and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
8. Serve:
- Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your spicy chilli chicken stir-fry with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Tips:

- Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking to ensure a smooth cooking process.

- Cut the chicken breasts into thin, uniform slices for even cooking.

- Adjust the number of chili peppers to suit your spice preference.

- Cook the vegetables to your desired level of crispness; some people prefer them slightly crunchy while others like them more tender.

- Ensure the wok or pan is hot before adding the oils to prevent sticking.

- Stir the chicken constantly to ensure it cooks evenly and absorbs maximum flavor from the sauces.

In conclusion, chilli chicken stir-fry is a delicious and satisfying dish that you can whip up quickly and easily. The balance of spice from the chili peppers and the savory notes of the sauces make this a crowd-pleaser. Serve it with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
