INGREDIENTS

  • Chicken:
  • 1.5 pound chicken thigh, cut to 1 inch pieces
  • 3 TBSP Soy Sauce
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup cooking oil
  • Vegetables:
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1/2 cup yellow pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup green pepper, diced
  • 1 cup celery , diced
  • 1 cup broccoli, florets frozen and thawed
  • Sauce:
  • 4 TBSP sherry cooking wine
  • 6 TBSP soy sauce
  • 1 TBSP Granulated garlic
  • 2 TBSP rice vinegar
  • 6 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 TBSP ginger root, minced
  • 1 TBSP crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 12 TBSP water
  • 1 cup roasted, unsalted peanuts
  • 2 green onions, sliced on the bias
  • 1 cup prepared rice



DIRECTIONS

  1. Place the cut chicken thighs into a bag and add the 3 TBSP soy sauce and 2 tsp cornstarch. Seal the bag and mix. Set in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  2. In the meantime make the sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and stir together. Set aside until needed.
  3. Pour the 1 cup of cooking oil into a medium size non stick pan and heat over high heat. Once it begins to lightly smoke add 1/3 of the chicken. Turn heat to medium high. Fry, turning carefully about every minute or so, until golden brown and crisp. About 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat the same process 2 more times with the remaining chicken.
  4. Reserve 3 TBSP of that cooking oil and discard the rest.
  5. Reheat the pan with 1 TBSP oil and add the vegetables, toss to coat with oil. Add more oil if needed (if not discard the remaining oil). Cook over high heat for about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and peanuts and toss or stir together.
  6. Add the sauce and cook until thickened.
  7. Serve with steamed rice and garnish with green onions.
