Instructions:
- Heat oil in a wok or kadhai over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, ensuring it doesn’t brown.
- Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chopped boneless chicken (preferably sliced thin) to the wok and sauté until the chicken is tender, being careful not to overcook it.
- Add salt, sliced green chillies, crushed black pepper, soy sauce, and vinegar to the chicken. Sauté for another 1 minute.
