Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the skinned boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a bowl, combine the chicken cubes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 lightly beaten egg white, and 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch. Mix well and set aside to marinate.
  3. In a small cup, mix the remaining 3 teaspoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Set aside.
  4. Heat 6 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat until warm.
  5. Drain the chicken, discarding the marinade, and add it to the hot oil. Stir-fry over low heat just until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside on a plate.
  7. Clean the wok and heat 2 tablespoons of fresh oil over medium-high heat.
  8. Add the crushed fresh ginger, crushed garlic, and dried red pepper pieces. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  9. Return the cooked chicken to the wok along with the chopped scallions, sugar, dark soy sauce, cooking sherry, and vinegar. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
  10. Season with ground black pepper to taste.
  11. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  12. Toss in the peanuts and mix well to coat everything evenly.
  13. Serve immediately while hot.
