Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preparation:

   • Chop or grind half of the peanuts into a fine powder using a blender.
   • Roughly chop or crush the remaining peanuts.
   • Similarly, roughly chop the green bell pepper and finely chop the onion.
   • Place the chicken breasts in a bowl, pour 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and mix well.
   • Add 1 teaspoon of salt, crushed peanuts, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
   • Mix with 2 tablespoons of mushroom soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of groundnut oil.
   • Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. Making the Sauce:

   • In a mixing jug, combine cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of mushroom soy sauce, tomato puree, dark brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
   • Mix cornflour with a little cold water and add half of it to the sauce mixture.

3. Cooking:

   • Heat some groundnut oil in a wok over medium-high heat.
   • Quickly add the chili powder followed by the finely chopped onion. Fry until the onion turns soft and begins to caramelize.
   • Add a bit more groundnut oil to the wok and let it heat up.
   • Toss in the chopped green bell pepper, increase the heat, and stir-fry for about a minute.
   • Add a little more oil if needed, then add the marinated chicken mixture.
   • Stir-fry for approximately two minutes or until the chicken is well-seared.
   • Pour the sauce mixture from the jug into the wok.
   • Cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and firm.
   • Adjust the sauce thickness to your liking by adding more cornflour or hot water.
   • Transfer the flavorful concoction into a warmed serving bowl.

4. Finishing Touches:

   • Drizzle a touch more sesame oil over the top and gently fold it in.
