# Method:
01 - Prepare rice according to package directions. Fluff and keep warm.
02 - Combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, cornstarch, brown sugar, and water in a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry chicken until cooked through and lightly browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
04 - Add additional oil if necessary. Sauté garlic, ginger, and all vegetables except spring onions for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp-tender and vibrant.
