    1

    Begin by cutting the chicken breast into thin strips.

    2

    In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to create a marinade.

    3

    Add the chicken strips to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Allow it to marinate for 15 minutes.

    While the chicken is marinating, heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

    5

    Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

    6

    Cook the chicken for about 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before serving.
