Peanut butter and Hoisin chicken
Ingredients
- 1½ lb chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp oil
Instructions
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Add the cornstarch and mix well to coat the chicken.
- In a bowl, add the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil and minced garlic, and mix well. Don't worry if there are small lumps of peanut butter; they will dissolve in the pan.
- Add the oil to a pan and fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden.
- Add the sauce to the chicken and mix well. Cook for a few minutes more until the sauce thickens up. Done!
- Serve the chicken immediately. You can use green onions, sesame seeds, or crushed peanuts to garnish.
Notes
- Feel free to add chili flakes into the sauce if you like it hot. Otherwise, Sriracha sauce works great so you can add it to your plate.
