Ingredients

1/3 cup water

1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
2 teaspoons tapioca flour
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
4 ounces portobello mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, cut into wedges
8 ounces skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cloves garlic, sliced

Directions

1 Combine water, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic paste, fish sauce, and oyster sauce in a bowl. Dissolve tapioca flour in soy sauce mixture to make the sauce. Set aside.
2 Heat sesame oil in a large wok. Add bell pepper, mushrooms, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.

Cook and stir until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
