Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
  • 2 Green onions, chopped
  • 2–3 Dried red chilies
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss with cornstarch until well coated.
  2. Fry the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and fry until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, and ginger to create the sauce.
  4. Combine with Spices: In the same frying pan, add dried red chilies and pour in the prepared sauce, allowing it to simmer and infuse flavors.
  5. Stir in Chicken: Add fried chicken back into the pan, and stir to coat each piece with the savory sauce.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with rice.

Notes

Serve over white rice or steamed broccoli for the best experience. This dish can also be frozen for up to three months.
