Get chicken stock to a rolling boil and let it reduce to about a quarter of the original amount.

Add soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and Dashi (if using) to the reduced stock and stir.

Continue boiling the mixture until it reaches a syrupy consistency.

Chop vegetables: onion and bell pepper, and prepare chicken.

Once the sauce is ready, strain it through a strainer and set it aside.

Heat a wok or nonstick pan with high-temperature frying oil.

Add onions to the hot oil and stir fry until halfway cooked.

Add chicken to the onions and stir fry until seared.

Near the end of cooking the chicken, add bell peppers and continue stir frying.

Add the prepared stir fry sauce to the pan and mix for about 1 minute.

Serve the stir fry over rice.
