Ingredients

  • 12 cup cornstarch
  • 34 cup soy sauce
  • 34 cup white wine
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese five spice powder
  • 1 tablespoon crystallized ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (or to taste)
  • 2 green onions
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon wok oil
  • 14 cup peanuts (chopped)
  • 14 cup peanut sauce
  • 1 cup sushi rice

Method

  • Begin by mixing up 1 part cornstarch, 1.5 parts soy sauce and 1.5 parts either white wine or mild white vinegar.
  • Cut your chicken into strips and marinade in that mixture.
  • This will give you that crunchy, yet tender texture that you only seem to find in Chinese restaurants.
  • As you want it, mince up some ginger, garlic and red chili or use Sriracha (the hot, yet tasty red garlic-chili sauce with the rooster on the bottle).
  • Slice up a couple of green onions in half inch slices.
  • Start by heating wok oil in wok on medium-high using only just a couple dashes of the oil.
  • Add the chicken and stir fry for 3 or 4 minutes or cook each side for about 2 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add the ginger, garlic, five spice, Sriracha and 1 cup water.
  • Stir, cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • After it's all simmered together, add the chopped peanuts and green onions, frying for a minute or so on high heat.
  • Remove and serve over prepared sushi rice and drizzle with a Thai peanut sauce.
  • Enjoy!
