Ingredients:

• 200g chicken breast (diced)

• 1 bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 onion (sliced)
• 3 cloves of garlic (minced)
• 1-inch piece of ginger (grated)
• 2 chili peppers (sliced)
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• wok
• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• grater
• garlic press

To start, heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced chili peppers, and stir-fry for about a minute until fragrant.

Next, add diced chicken breast to the wok and cook until browned on all sides. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once the chicken is cooked through, add sliced bell pepper and onion to the wok and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.

Now, it’s time to create the volcano effect. Push the chicken and vegetables to the sides of the wok, leaving a space in the center. Add cubed pineapple to the center of the wok and sprinkle with brown sugar. Let the pineapple caramelize for a minute before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients.

Finally, pour soy sauce and fish sauce over the stir-fry, and toss everything together until well combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
