6. With a slotted spoon, pull the chicken to the side, drain all the excess Oil and keep aside.

8. Add in the Ginger, Garlic and Green Chillies, mix and cook for a minute.
9. Add in the Onion and the Bell-Pepper and cook for another minute or so.

  7. Looks lovely i will be making this meal. Thank you.

  8. it looks quite nice, just one suggestion: as you pre fried the chicken, so when you fry it the second time, you can turn up the heat a little bit higher so the oil can be hotter to make the cooking faster. but not burnt. Controlling the heat is a key point in Chinese cooking
