Ingredients
2.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, fat removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup (32 g) cornstarch
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
⅓ cup (85 g) soy sauce
⅓ cup (83 g) water
⅓ cup (67 g) light brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoon perilla oil
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 yellow onions, diced
5 large jalapeno peppers, stemmed, desseeded, sliced
cooked white rice, for serving
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly on all sides. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine water, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic. Mix well and set aside.
To a lwok over medium-high heat, add oil. When the oil is shimmering, carefully add chicken to the hot oil. (Do this in 2-3 batches.) Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Transfer the chicken to a plate, and tent to keep warm.
To the same skillet, add onions and jalapeno. Cook until softened (about 4-6 minutes).
Add the chicken and the soy sauce mixture to the pan and stir to combine. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes.
Serve over cooked white rice.
