In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil on medium heat.
When oil is hot, add the onion and cook for about a minute, then add the garlic and chicken.
Saute until the chicken is cooked through (about 4-5 minutes).
In a separate bowl, whisk together the water, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, sugar, cornstarch and ginger. Whisk this until the sugar has dissolved, then add this sauce to the chicken.
Bring the sauce to a boil, then add the red bell pepper and snow peas.
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes (the sauce will thicken as it cooks). When chicken is heated through and sauce has thickened, remove it from heat.
Serve this dish on top of white or brown rice.
Garnish (if desired) with additional green onion slices and toasted sesame seeds. ENJOY!!
