Step by Step Method

Step 1

Note: This recipe calls for boneless thigh meat, which is preferred, but I tried using breast meat and the result was fine also.

Step 2

Mix together sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 3

Cut chicken into a small dice, about 1/4-inch.

Step 4

Heat 1-2 cups peanut or other cooking oil in your wok.

Step 5

Place cornstarch in a small bowl and begin to dust chicken pieces, shaking off excess.

Step 6

Fry in hot oil in small batches until crispy and golden, about 2-3 minutes; drain.

Step 7

Remove oil from wok and discard.

Step 8

Heat 1 tbsp oil in wok and stir-fry onion about 1 minute; add peas and carrots and cook another 30 seconds.

Step 9

Add sauce mixture to wok along with chicken pieces and stir to coat everything evenly.

Step 10

Serve at once with hot steamed rice.

We really enjoyed this dish. i used kecap manis and mirin for the wine. It was what I had in the pantry! Before combining the dish i thought the sauce was very salty but when I added the veggies everything balanced beautifully. I did not fry the chicken first, but think I will do that next time for texture. The pepper in the recipe is without a doubt addictive. Thanks.
