Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Peanut Chicken Stir-Fry.
Step 1
Start by heating a generous amount of wok oil or peanut oil in your wok over medium heat, allowing it to warm up nicely.
Step 2
Once the oil is hot, add in your chicken pieces, stirring frequently to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 3
Keep an eye on them until they are fully cooked and the juices run clear, which usually takes just a few minutes.
Step 4
Next, toss in the vibrant chopped red bell pepper and continue to stir-fry until the pepper becomes tender and adds a lovely sweetness to the dish.
Step 5
While the chicken and peppers are cooking, take a moment to prepare your sauce.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, a touch of sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, freshly chopped ginger, minced garlic, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Step 7
This mixture will bring a delightful balance of flavors to your stir-fry.
Step 8
Once your chicken and peppers are ready, pour the sauce into the wok, and donβt forget to add in the chopped green onions and cilantro, saving a little for garnish later.
Step 9
Stir everything together and let it cook for about five minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat all the ingredients beautifully.
Step 10
To finish off this delicious dish, fold in the chopped dry roasted peanuts for that perfect crunch.
Step 11
Serve your stir-fry hot, garnished with the reserved green onions and cilantro for a fresh touch.
Step 12
Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures in every bite!.
