Prepare the Chicken: Wash the chicken pieces thoroughly. Boil them in water until they are half-cooked or fully cooked, depending on your preference. Once cooked, set aside to cool. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it into bite-sized pieces.

Add the Sauces and Seasonings: Incorporate the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sweet soy sauce into the pan. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Add salt, black pepper, granulated sugar, and finely grated palm sugar (if using). Mix thoroughly and let the ingredients combine.
-
Thicken the Sauce: Pour in the water and cornstarch mixture. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken nicely.
-
Add Vegetables: Finally, add the green onions, green chilies (or bell peppers), and onion pieces. Stir to ensure all ingredients are well mixed and the vegetables are slightly tender.
