Instructions

Prep your ingredients by chopping the chicken into bite-sized pieces and mincing the garlic. Slice the bell peppers and scallions.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch until smooth.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and sauté until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
Toss in minced garlic and dried red chili peppers; sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in bell peppers and scallions; cook for another 2-3 minutes until tender but crisp.
