# How to Make It:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce or tamari, oyster sauce if using, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, chili flakes, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
02 - Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices and stir-fry until lightly golden and cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
03 - Add remaining oil to the pan. Add broccoli, carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
04 - Add bell peppers and zucchini to the pan. Continue stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until vegetables reach crisp-tender consistency.
05 - Return cooked chicken to the pan along with prepared sauce. Toss all ingredients together and cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
06 - Garnish with sliced spring onions and serve immediately while hot.
