• 1 tbsp sesame oil

• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (for sauce)
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water

• Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken:
   1. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with 2 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   1. Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
   2. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Vegetables:
   1. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil.
   2. Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
   3. Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Combine Chicken and Vegetables:
   1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
   2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
   3. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5. Serve:
   1. Divide the stir-fry among serving plates.
   2. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if desired.
   3. Serve immediately.
