Directions

  1. 1

    Cut your chicken into strips and marinade in that mixture.

    This will give you that crunchy, yet tender texture that you only seem to find in Chinese restaurants.
  4. 4
    As you want it, mince up some ginger, garlic and red chili or use Sriracha (the hot, yet tasty red garlic-chili sauce with the rooster on the bottle).
  5. 5
    Slice up a couple of green onions in half inch slices.
  6. 6
    Start by heating wok oil in wok on medium-high using only just a couple dashes of the oil.
  7. 7
    Add the chicken and stir fry for 3 or 4 minutes or cook each side for about 2 minutes.
  8. 8
    Reduce heat to medium-low and add the ginger, garlic, five spice, Sriracha and 1 cup water.
  9. 9
    Stir, cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes.
  10. 10
    After it's all simmered together, add the chopped peanuts and green onions, frying for a minute or so on high heat.
  11. 11
    Remove and serve over prepared sushi rice and drizzle with a Thai peanut sauce.
