Sweet and spicy chicken stir fry


A mildly sweet dish with a spicy zing. Delicious with brown rice, and not even that bad reheated.

Ingredients
2 tbsp grated ginger
4 cloves garlic
1/3 cup brown sugar
0.25 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup fish sauce
2 tsp hot sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
2 lb chicken meat
1 tbsp oil
0.5 cup fresh jalapeno pepper slices
0.5 cup diced red bell pepper
0.25 cup roasted peanuts
0.25 cup chopped cilantro
0.5 cup green onions

Preparation
Mince garlic, grate ginger and mix with sugar, vinegar, hot sauce, fish sauce, and soy sauce.

Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. I prefer thighs for its more flavorful fatty portions.

Mix the chicken with the sauce. Set aside to marinade for 15-30 minutes.


Heat oil, and when it starts to smoke, add the well-drained chicken in a single layer. Cook until chicken pieces caramelize, stirring occasionally.

Add in jalapeno, peppers, green onions, and peanuts. Cook for one more minute. Stir in remaining sauce.


Remove from heat. Stir in freshly chopped cilantro leaves. Serve over rice.
