Ingredients for Green Pepper Chicken Breast Shreds: 1 piece of chicken breast, 2 green peppers, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, salt to taste, a pinch of white pepper, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, half a tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, a little water.
Method: Step 1: Prepare the ingredients in advance. For beginners, prepping ingredients beforehand can prevent confusion during cooking and result in a better dish. Slice the green peppers into shreds, flatten and mince the garlic, and cut the chicken breast into shreds. Add a little salt, white pepper, and one tablespoon of cooking oil, then mix evenly with your hands and marinate for about ten minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the sauce in advance. In a bowl, add a little water, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, one tablespoon of cooking wine, one tablespoon of light soy sauce, a little dark soy sauce, and one tablespoon of oyster sauce. Stir well and set aside.
Step 3: Heat the oil in a pan, then stir-fry the marinated chicken breast shreds. Quickly separate the shreds to ensure they are distinct and do not stick together.
Step 4: Once the chicken changes color, add the green peppers and minced garlic, then pour in the sauce. Stir-fry quickly until the green peppers are slightly cooked.
Step 5: Green peppers can be eaten raw, so do not overcook them. I find that they are best when about 80-90% cooked. Serve immediately after stir-frying for the best texture.
Cooking Tips for Green Pepper Chicken Breast Shreds: The chicken shreds should not be too thick or too thin; too thin can break easily, and too thick can affect the texture. Heat the oil to a higher temperature, then quickly spread the chicken after pouring it in to ensure even heating for the best texture.
