Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken
   In a bowl, toss the chicken slices with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes.

2. Stir-Fry
   Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until golden brown and almost cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté Veggies
   In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden.

4. Combine & Sauce
   Return the chicken to the skillet. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and water. Stir-fry everything together for another 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the chicken well.

5. Serve Hot
   Garnish with green onions if desired and serve immediately with rice, noodles, or over a warm grain bowl.
