- Add the bell peppers and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes until tender-crisp. Return the chicken to the wok with the sauce and stir-fry 1 minute until evenly coated.
- Turn off the heat. Add the green onion greens, sesame oil and black pepper and mix well. Add up to 1 teaspoon more black pepper if you like more heat. Serve with hot rice.
