Cut the green bell peppers and onion into 1 cm cubes.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breast into 1 cm cubes.
Step 3
Coat the chicken cubes evenly with frying mix until all pieces are lightly covered.
Step 4

Step 5

Step 6

Step 7

Cooking Tips

Turn off the heat before adding the spicy chili crunch to preserve its crispy texture. Adding it while the wok is still very hot may cause it to soften from residual steam.

Serving Suggestions

Serve it with steamed rice when you want a simple Chinese home-cooked meal.
Add a light soup or cold vegetable side if the stir-fry is salty, spicy, or saucy.
Keep rice or noodles ready before cooking because stir-fries are best served immediately.
