Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, soy sauce, sugar, and water until well combined. Set aside.
-
Heat Oil: In a large stir-fry pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
-
Sautรฉ Garlic and Ginger: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil and sautรฉ until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
-
Add Scallions: Toss in the sliced scallions and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
-
Cook Chicken: Add the sliced chicken thighs to the pan and stir-fry until they are cooked through and no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
-
Incorporate Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and vegetables in the pan. Stir well to combine and coat everything evenly.
-
Thicken Sauce: Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and becomes bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Serve: Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove the pan from the heat. Serve the stir-fried chicken immediately with steamed white rice and your favorite side dish, such as steamed broccoli.
Tips:
- For an extra kick of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
- You can customize this recipe by adding your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas, along with the chicken.
- Make sure to slice the chicken thighs thinly and uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- To save time, you can prepare the sauce and slice the vegetables and chicken ahead of time.
