Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, minced
- 150 g Snow peas, trimmed
- 4 tbsp Plum jam
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 60 ml Chicken broth
- 1 tsp Rice vinegar
- 2 Scallions, sliced
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional)
- 4 servings Cooked white or jasmine rice (for serving)
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the plum jam, soy sauce, chicken broth, and rice vinegar to create the sauce.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and pour the sauce over the chicken and snow peas. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and snow peas.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the dish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds (if using).
Serve immediately over cooked white or jasmine rice. Enjoy!
