1.
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, and cornstarch.
Toss to coat evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
3.
Add the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the skillet.
Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to combine with the vegetables.
Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Tips:
For a sweeter sauce, add an additional tablespoon of brown sugar.
If you don’t have mirin or sake, you can substitute dry white wine or rice vinegar.
You can also add other vegetables to this dish, such as broccoli, carrots, or snap peas.
To make a spicier version, add a teaspoon of Sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
