Now, let’s roll up our sleeves and bring this dish to life. Follow these steps, and remember, cooking is an art, so feel free to add your personal touch!

1. In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and half of the black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, then add the onion and bell pepper. Sauté until they start to soften, approximately 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the minced garlic, remaining black pepper, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
5. Return the chicken to the skillet, add honey or brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil if using. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Adjust seasoning to taste, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Remember, like my Abuela always said, “Taste as you go”—the secret to every great cook.
