  • 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.
