   • Heat a pan over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Sauté the garlic and part of the sliced onions until fragrant and golden brown.

3. Add the Chicken:

   • Introduce the marinated chicken to the pan. Cook until the chicken starts to brown and changes color.

4. Season the Chicken:

   • Pour in the teriyaki sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, and add the smashed ginger. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly.

5. Simmer:

   • Add enough water to cover the chicken slightly. Let it simmer until the chicken is nearly cooked through.

6. Add Vegetables:

   • Stir in the remaining sliced onions and bell peppers (or chili peppers). Cook until the vegetables are slightly tender.

7. Thicken the Sauce:

   • Mix the cornstarch with a small amount of water to form a slurry. Pour this mixture into the pan, stirring quickly to thicken the sauce.

8. Adjust the Seasoning:

   • Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt or additional pepper if needed.

9. Serve:

   • Once the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, remove from heat. Serve the Teriyaki Chicken hot with steamed rice or your preferred side dish.
