- 1-1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger (must be FRESH!)
- Chicken
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

DIRECTIONS
Combine sauce ingredients in a mason jar, and shake vigorously.
in refrigerator until you're ready for it.
Mix chicken with the soy sauce, then stir in egg, and add cornstarch until chicken is coated.
Deep fry chicken until golden brown, then drain on a paper towel.
I just deep fried it until it turned a light brown, was slightly crispy, and I knew it was done.
(start the next 3 steps while the chicken was frying)
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in wok.
Add peppers and stir fry for 30 seconds.
Take sauce out of the fridge, shake it again, and add it to the wok.
Continue to stir until it thickens.
Once the sauce is thick, add the veggies and simmer over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure that sauce doesn't burn.
Add the chicken, and simmer for another 5 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally.
Serve over white rice.
