The recipe starts with boneless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips, that is stir-fried with ginger powder, minced garlic, sliced red bell pepper, sliced yellow onion, and snow peas. The sauce is made by whisking together ginger powder, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch, which is then poured into the pan to thicken and coat the ingredients.

Recipe Note
- Adjust the spice level to your preference by using more or less ginger powder.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos instead.
- If you don't have snow peas, you can substitute with another vegetable, such as broccoli or carrots.
- To make the dish more filling, you can add additional vegetables, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or bok choy.
- The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Serve the stir-fry with steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete meal.
- If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add more brown sugar to taste.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with tofu, tempeh, or your favorite plant-based protein.
