4 Servings
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 450 g chicken breast
  • 15 g cornstarch
  • 8 dried red chilies
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 10 g ginger
  • 3 green onions
  • 30 ml hoisin sauce
  • 30 ml rice vinegar
  • 60 g roasted peanuts
  • 15 ml sesame oil
  • 60 ml soy sauce
  • 15 g sugar
  • 30 ml vegetable oil
  • 60 ml water

Directions

Step 1
In a bowl, combine the chicken, 30ml of soy sauce, 15ml of rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pan, add the garlic, ginger, and dried red chilies. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the bell pepper and green onions to the pan. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Step 5
Return the chicken to the pan and add the remaining 30ml of soy sauce, 15ml of rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sugar, and water. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Add the roasted peanuts and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables.
Step 7
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
