Mushroom sauce provides a similar umami flavor, while soy sauce is more accessible.

Start by adding 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sugar to a small bowl and mix everything together to make the sauce.

Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a wok on very high heat.

Once the wok is hot, add 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic and 1/4 cup of diced onion, then stir-fry those ingredients for about 1 minute.

Add 300 grams of diced chicken breast and stir-fry everything for about 1-2 minutes until the chicken is half cooked.

Add 1 cup of broccoli, the sauce prepared earlier, 1/4 cup of grated ginger, and 1/4 cup of sliced red bell peppers, then stir everything for a final 3 minutes until the chicken is completely cooked.

Finally, add 2 sliced spring onions, mix in, and then serve.
