Quick and easy Taiwanese chicken dish with a flavorful blend of ingredients. Perfect with rice or noodles for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons rice wine
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger root
- 6 dried red chile peppers
- 0.25 cup rice wine
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
- 0.5 cup peanuts
- 4 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions:
- Combine 1/4 cup cornstarch, 3 tablespoons rice wine, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a bowl, whisk them together. Add chicken, stir well to coat, and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil until sizzling. Brown the chicken in the hot oil, then transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon, keeping the flavorful drippings in the skillet.
- Drizzle the remaining oil into the hot skillet, then add the garlic, ginger, and red chile peppers. Sauté until fragrant for about 1 minute. Add the chicken back to the skillet and cook until almost cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Combine 1/4 cup rice wine, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup cornstarch, sugar, water, vinegar, and sesame oil in a bowl. Pour over the chicken mixture and cook until the sauce starts bubbling, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add peanuts and green onion, cook and stir for another minute.
