Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Enjoy!
