Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken (bone-in or boneless, your choice)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice wine
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (optional, for color)
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 piece ginger minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns (optional, for a spicy kick)
- 2 green onions sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine, dark soy sauce (if using), honey or sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat them evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or if possible, refrigerate it overnight for more flavor.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a pan or wok over medium heat. If you like a spicy kick, you can add the Sichuan peppercorns to the oil and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
- Add the marinated chicken to the pan, reserving the excess marinade. Stir-fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes browned and cooked through.
- Pour in the reserved marinade and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken.
- Add the sliced green onions and stir them in for an additional minute.
- Drizzle the sesame oil over the dish for extra aroma, and give it a final stir.
- Transfer the Dong’an Chicken to a plate and serve it hot with steamed rice or noodles.
