Ingredients
Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sugar, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add bell peppers, peanuts, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until the peppers are softened and fragrant.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the sauce mixture. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables.
- Serve the Kung Pao Chicken over steamed rice, garnished with additional peanuts and chopped green onions if desired.
