Ingredients

4 servings

  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons rice wine
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ½ 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
  • ¼ cup rice wine
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
  • ½ cup peanuts
  • 4 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions

  • Whisk 1/4 cup cornstarch, 3 tablespoons rice wine, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce together in a bowl. Add chicken to the marinade and stir to coat completely. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet. Cook and stir chicken in the hot oil until completely browned; remove from oil with a slotted spoon to a bowl, retaining oil and drippings in the skillet.
  • Pour remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the skillet and let it get hot before adding garlic, ginger, and red chile peppers; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Return chicken to the skillet; cook and stir until the chicken is nearly cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Whisk 1/4 cup rice wine, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup cornstarch, sugar, water, vinegar, and sesame oil together in a bowl; pour over the chicken mixture. Cook until the sauce begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. Add peanuts and green onion; cook and stir 1 minute more.
