Ingredients
  • 1 large Chicken Breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons Sesame Oil
  • 3 Tablespoons Green Onions, chopped
  • 3 garlic Cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • ½ teaspoon Groun Ginger
  • 2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Sugar
  • 2 cups Broccoli, steamed
  • 2 Tablespoons Peanuts
Preparation Instructions
  1. Lightly season chicken with salt & pepper. Dredge in the cornstarch and shake off excess in a colander.
  2. Combine green onions, garlic cloves, red pepper flakes and powdered ginger in a small bowl, then set aside. Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar and sugar in a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds to dissolve sugar, then set aside.
  3. Heat a wok or large skillet on med-high (~325 degrees on an electric wok.) Add sesame oil and, when hot, add chicken. Cook until chicken is no longer pink, ~5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  4. Add green onion mixture to the wok and cook, stirring constantly for 15 seconds. Add soy sauce mixture to the wok and let bubble for 10-15 seconds, or until it begins to thicken slightly. Add chicken back into the wok, along with broccoli and peanuts. Stir to combine. Turn off heat and serve over rice.
