- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 red bell pepper sliced

- Whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar until well-combined. Set aside.
- Add the bell pepper and green beans to the hot wok and stir-fry for one minute. Next add in the chicken and cook, until beginning to brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the shallots, garlic, and chilies. Cook for about 1 min until fragrant. Then, pour in the earlier prepared sauce. Continue to cook for 1-2 more mins until the sauce begins to glaze.
