1. Marinate Chicken: Combine chicken strips, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
2. Prepare Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, slice the mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper. Set aside.
3. Heat Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Stir-Fry Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until it’s nearly cooked through. Remove and set aside.
5. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add Vegetables: Toss in sliced mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for an additional 3-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
