To fry the chicken, heat the pan and melt a small piece of butter. Transfer the chicken with vegetables to the pan and pour in all the sauce. You can add 1/3 cup of filtered water to prevent the vegetables from burning and ensure the chicken is fully cooked. Simmer until ready.

It's necessary to add spiciness. The best way in this case is to use red chili pepper. It provides the needed heat but does so gently, almost sneaking into the dish. I added literally 1/6 of the pepper (a bit of skin and seeds). Be careful with salt — soy sauce already has a strong salty flavor.
- Chili pepper: 1 piece
