Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 whole red chilies, thinly sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 4 cups cooked white rice
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and toss them with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce in a bowl. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle the marinated chicken with cornstarch and toss to coat evenly.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced red chilies, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, chili garlic sauce, and 1 tablespoon of water. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Stir-fry everything together for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately over cooked white rice.
