For the sauce:

2 tbsp Soy Sauce
2 tsp Dark Soy Sauce

Method:
Take a big bowl, and toss chicken strips with sesame oil and white pepper in them. Marinate them for approximately 10-15 minutes. Once done, leave them aside.
Now add rice vinegar, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Chinese rice wine, brown sugar and cornstarch in a bowl and mix them. Leave it for some time as well.

Next, reheat the same pan and include 1 tablespoon of oil followed by garlic, ginger, and red chilli flakes. Stir-fry all the ingredients on a low flame for about 10-15 seconds. Ensure that garlic doesn’t get burnt while cooking.
Now, add snow peas and red onion to the pan and fry them on a high flame for a minute.
After this, include red bell pepper and cook them for one minute. Stir and toss all the ingredients often.
Once these vegetables get bright and look almost crisp-tender, add the fried chicken pieces to this pan.
Now, include the prepared sauce in the pan as well. Cook it until the sauce thickens.
