Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Note: This recipe calls for boneless thigh meat, which is preferred, but I tried using breast meat and the result was fine also. |
| 2 | In a small bowl, mix together oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, black pepper, white pepper, rice wine, and sake to create the flavorful sauce. Set aside for later use. |
| 3 | Begin by cutting the boneless chicken thighs into small dice, approximately 1/4-inch in size. |
| 4 | Heat 1-2 cups of peanut or any other cooking oil of your choice in a wok over medium-high heat. |
| 5 | Place cornstarch in a small bowl and lightly dust the chicken pieces, ensuring to shake off any excess cornstarch. |
| 6 | Carefully fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil in small batches until they turn crispy and golden brown, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Once fried, drain the excess oil and set aside. |
| 7 | Remove the oil from the wok and discard any remaining residue. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the wok over medium heat. |
| 8 | Stir-fry the onion in the wok for about 1 minute until it becomes translucent and fragrant. Add peas and carrots to the wok and continue to cook for an additional 30 seconds. |
| 9 | Now, add the previously prepared sauce mixture to the wok, along with the fried chicken pieces, ensuring that everything is evenly coated with the flavorsome sauce. |
| 10 | Once the chicken and vegetables are thoroughly coated and heated through, serve the dish immediately with hot steamed rice. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures! |
