Ingredients

1/3 cup soy sauce or tamari sauce, or liquid aminos, or coconut aminos
1/4 cup water
1-2 tablespoons sriracha hot sauce or 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or both), or more/less to taste
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon mirin Japanese rice wine, or Shaoxing (Chinese rice wine)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts thighs, or tenders, cut into thin strips
1 yellow onion sliced
2 bell peppers any color, seeded and sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh cilantro for serving optional

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, sriracha, honey, mirin, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.
Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Heat the remaining oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until soft. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Return the chicken to the pan with any accumulated juices.
Whisk the soy sauce mixture again to make sure the cornstarch is dissolved and add the mixture to the pan. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Top with cilantro (if using) and serve.
