Instructions
Preparation Steps
Start by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced chicken and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Next, add the minced garlic and sliced onions to the skillet, stirring continuously for about 1-2 minutes until they become fragrant and soft.
Then, toss in the bell peppers, broccoli, and bean sprouts. Keep everything moving in the pan for about 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender yet crisp.
In a separate bowl, mix the soy sauce with cornstarch and a little water to create a nice sauce. Pour this mixture over the stir-fried ingredients and stir well to coat everything evenly.
Finally, cook for another minute or so until the sauce thickens slightly, then remove from heat. Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious chop suey!
