I have found this lower fat (not greasy) version better than the original. I use sesame oil instead of peanut oil. Ingredients:
3/4 cup canned chicken broth, reduced-sodium |
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce |
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
2 teaspoons peanut oil |
2 medium scallions, chopped |
2 medium garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1 dried chili, minced |
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 2-inch pieces |
2 cups cooked white rice, kept hot |
Directions:
1. * In a medium bowl, whisk together broth, cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and ginger; set aside.
2. * Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallions, garlic and pepper and cook 2 minutes. Add chicken and cook until browned all over, about 5 minutes.
3. * Add reserved sauce and simmer until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes.
4. * Serve chicken and sauce over rice. Yields about 1 cup of chicken and sauce and 1/2 cup of rice per serving.
