Kung Pao Chicken

This is a very easy and delicious recipe. I paired it with Chinese noodles and roasted broccoli and cauliflower. I will definitely make this again.

Ingredients:
1 lb boneless-skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp sesame oil
3 tbsp chopped green onions
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/3 c dry roasted peanuts

Combine the chicken and cornstarch in a small bowl and toss to coat. Heat sesame oil in a wok or a large deep dish skillet over medium heat, add chicken and stir fry 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink inside. Remove the chicken from the wok.

Add green onions, garlic, red pepper flakes and ginger to the wok and stir fry for 15 seconds.

Combine vinegar, sugar and soy sauce in a small bowl. Mix well and add to the wok.

Return the chicken to the wok and coat with the sauce. Stir in the peanuts. Heat thoroughly and top with addition green onions if desired. Serve over rice or noodles.
