  2. Prep the Vegetables: Chop green peppers and onions into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  3. Heat the Oil: In a wok or deep frying pan, heat oil to 350°F (177°C).
  4. Fry the Chicken: Coat marinated chicken with corn starch, fry in batches for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat oil, sauté garlic-ginger-onion mix for 1-2 minutes, then add onions and green peppers, cooking until slightly crisp.
