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.
