Servings
Ingredients
- 3 chicken thighs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup neutral oil
- a handful cashews
- 5 garlic
- 3 tbsp green onions
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Sauce
- 3 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- 1Cut the chicken thighs into thin strips.
- 2Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, chili flakes, dark soy sauce, one beaten egg, and corn starch; toss to coat (velveting).
- 3In a small bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, ketchup, dark soy sauce, sugar, paprika, corn starch, and water; stir until smooth.
- 4Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Shallow‑fry the coated chicken for about 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pieces are golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate and drain on paper towels.
- 5In the same skillet, add the cashews and fry briefly until lightly toasted; remove and set aside.
- 6Leave about 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan, lower the heat, and sauté the minced garlic and half of the sliced green onions for about 15 seconds until fragrant.
- 7Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet, stirring constantly until it bubbles and thickens, about 1–2 minutes.
- 8Return the fried chicken to the skillet and gently toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
- 9Add the toasted cashews, the remaining green onions, and sesame seeds; stir briefly to combine.
- 10Serve the chicken over steamed white rice.
