So lets get into it and start with the ingredients needed:
- 500g boneless chicken thighs (you can use chicken breast instead)
- One medium size carrot
- One small bell pepper
- Two jalapeno pepper
- One medium size onion
- Four cloves of garlic
- Baby corns
- Green onions
- Three tablespoons of light soy sauce
- Three tablespoons of dark soy sauce
- Two tablespoons of rice wine vinegar
- Two tablespoon of cornstarch
- Half a teaspoon of ginger powder
- One teaspoon of honey or half a teaspoon of sugar
- One tablespoon of chilli powder (optional)
- Sunflower seeds or cashew nuts (optional)
STEPS
First, wash your chicken and cut them into the desired shape and size. I will advice that whatever shape and size you cut your chicken, you should do the same with your veggies as well, e.g if you cut the chicken into strips, cut your veggies into strips as well, e.t.c. After that, marinate the chicken with a drizzle of soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and two tablespoons of cornstarch, let it sit for about 15-20 minutes.
Next up, heat up your wok or frying pan with about two tablespoons of vegetable oil, add in just the chicken and stir fry till it's golden brown and then take it off the heat. Clean your wok/pan and drizzle in some vegetable oil, add in the onions and garlic first, stir fry for a few seconds and then add in the peppers and carrots, stir fry for about a minute, then add in the baby corns, and then the chicken. Fry them all together for about a minute and then add in your three tablespoons of dark and light soy sauce, ginger powder, dry chilli powder, one teaspoon of honey and mix. Fry all together for a minute or two and then add in half a cup of water(depending on how saucy you want it to be)
If the sauce is too watery for you, you can mix a little bit of cornstarch with water and then add it to the sauce to thicken it up some more, but the cornstarch on the chicken should thicken it enough.
At this point you can add in the green onions and sunflower seeds, let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, check and see if any additional seasoning is needed, if not, your stir fry is ready!
You can serve this with some fluffy white rice or noodles. This recipe is really quick and easy, I do hope you give it a try and enjoy!
