👨‍🍳 Method

For the Soy-Honey Sauce

1. 1
   In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger and vinegar.

   💡Honey balances the saltiness of the soy and caramelizes over heat: on the grill it gives a browned crust, and in a pan a glossy sauce.

To assemble

1. 2
   Add the black pepper to the sauce and stir.
2. 3
   Heat the oil in a large pan over high heat. Fry the chicken cubes in batches 4–5 minutes, until golden, and transfer to a plate.

   💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
3. 4
   Add the red pepper and green pepper and fry 2–3 minutes, stirring.

   💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
