    When I have leftover peppers and onion, my go to is a vegetable sauce- you cook vegetables on the pan (bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, zucchini, eggplant, whatever you have, even carrots) ass spices, then add canned tomatoes and cook in the tomatoes for 10 more minutes. And you end up with 2 or 3 portions of sauce. Perfect for rice or pasta. You can add canned beans or lentils too.

    Mate, you forgot one of the most important bits for stir frying: add ingredients depending on how much cooking time they need. For example, carrots should go in before bell pepper as bell pepper needs less cooking time. Of course that's not a hard need but another small step to upgrade your stir-fry game.

    also you should not put the garlick first as it will burn and you should stir fry the chicken alone, then take it out and do veggies then chicken in again to not overcook the chicken. For me the order is: chicken first until 80% cooked, chicken out. Garlick, green onion and ginger in to infuse oil, then veggies that cook slow like carrot and onion, then veggies that cook fast like bell pepper, chicken in again, soy souce, final touches like topings and aromatic oils (green part of green onion and sesame oil for example) and its done!

    Tip: While you don't want to use oil for cooking mushrooms, adding water or anything on a water basis can do wonders for cooking them. I often use a dealcoholized red wine, but a regular red wine should probably work just as well. But honestly, even just using water can make so much of a difference compared to just dry-frying them. It's probably also better for the pan.

    You can actually steam properly using a good wok pan. 1. the sides should be hammered, or grooved, so food will cling to it; 2. move the food up to the sides, add a bit of water at the bottom; 3. close off with lid.

His doctor told him that eating onion that has been cut an hour or two ago should be avoided as this is a major cause of food poisoning, so now even I avoid eating leftover onions and would suggest you all to avoid it too. Just throw it away, medication will be more expensive than half or a quarter onion.
