Instructions

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the potato starch and 2 tbsp of cold water to create a slurry. Set aside.
2
Heat a wok over high heat until smoking. Add the cooking oil.
3
Add the minced garlic and chili sauce. Stir-fry for 10-15 seconds until fragrant.
4
Add the sliced chicken and stir-fry, tossing continuously, until seared and nearly cooked through.
5
Add the chopped green peppers and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
6
Add the chopped onions and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until slightly softened.
7
Pour in 1/2 cup of water and bring to a simmer.
8
Season with salt, MSG (if using), and sugar. Stir to combine.
9
Give the potato starch slurry a quick stir, then pour it into the wok. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens.
10
Add the dark soy sauce, honey, and Shaoxing wine.
11
Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and give everything a final toss to ensure the chicken and vegetables are fully coated in the glossy sauce.
