INGREDIENTS:
- 1 1/3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 5 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sherry
- 1 tbsp plus 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp sugar (or to taste)
- 2 tbsp white-wine vinegar or rice vinegar
- 2 tsp Asian sesame oil
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 1/2 cup peanuts
- 4 scallions, white bulbs and green tops cut separately into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tsp dried red-pepper flakes (or to taste)
- In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with 1 tbsp of the soy sauce, 1 tbsp of the sherry, and the 1 tbsp cornstarch.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, water, and the remaining 4 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of sherry, and 2 tsp cornstarch.
- In a wok or large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of the oil over moderately high heat. Add the peanuts and stir-fry until light brown, about 30 seconds. Remove from the pan. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add the white part of the scallions and the red-pepper flakes to the pan and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the chicken with its marinade and cook, stirring until almost done, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the soy-sauce mixture and the scallion tops and simmer until the chicken is just done, about minute longer. Stir in the peanuts.
