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.
