Title: Ming Tsai Chicken

Ingredients:
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 green bell pepper, sliced
– 1 small onion, sliced
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons water
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to make the marinade. Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

2. In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry that will thicken the sauce later on.

3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer, reserving the marinade. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the chicken is browned and fully cooked through.

4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced red and green bell peppers, along with the onion. Sauté the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the reserved marinade and the cornstarch slurry. Stir well to combine and allow the sauce to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed. The dish should have a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness.

7. Once everything is well combined and the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a pop of color and added flavor.
