Equipment

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 16 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs, cubed
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Stir Fry

  • ½ small onion cut into thick wedges
  • 3 scallions cut into ½ inch pieces with whites and greens separated
  • ½ cup roasted cashews

Stir Fry Sauce

Optional Serving

  • Steamed rice

Instructions

  • Marinate the cubed chicken thighs with Shaoxing wine, salt, and cornstarch for 15 minutes.
  • While the chicken marinates, cut the onion into thick wedges and slice the scallions into ½-inch pieces, separating the whites and greens.
  • In a small bowl, combine dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, honey, vinegar, chicken bouillon, and water. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
  • Heat a pan over medium-high heat with oil. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the onions and scallion whites. Cook until softened and slightly caramelized.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and pour in the sauce. Stir continuously until the sauce reduces and thickens, coating the chicken evenly.
  • Add the scallion greens and roasted cashews, tossing just until the greens are wilted.
  • Serve over a fresh bowl of rice, or enjoy it as is.
