Add fish sauce, corn starch, olive oil, salt, sugar and water to chicken. Mix together in one direction to help with myosin development, which yields more tender chicken. Marinate for ⏱️ 10 minutes while you prep the stir fry ingredients.

Take chicken out of pan once you see some browning. Your chicken should be 80% done (don't worry we will stir fry it again). Place on a separate plate.

Heat wok on high again and add another tablespoon of oil. Fry garlic, onions, red bell pepper, and Thai chilis.
