Once the oil is hot, add half the ginger root and garlic clove. Stir for around ten seconds until aromatic, adding the chicken. Stir-fry the chicken for two to three minutes, until it turns white-colored and it is nearly 80 % cooked. Splash a little bit of grain wine or dry sherry within the chicken while stir-frying if preferred. Remove in the wok and drain inside a colander or in writing towels. Cleanse the wok.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil within the wok. Add the rest of the ginger root and garlic clove and stir for around ten seconds until aromatic. Add some onion and eco-friendly bell pepper. Stir-fry for any minute, adding the red bell pepper. Continue stir-frying for an additional minute, adding a little bit of grain wine or dry sherry, chicken broth or water when the vegetables begin to dry up.
Push the vegetables aside and add some chicken. Stir briefly, then push towards the sides. Re-stir the sauce and add it into the center of the wok, stirring rapidly to thicken. Stir to combine everything together. Stir within the eco-friendly onion and serve hot over grain.
