Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry

  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 1 tablespoon crumbled dried red chile pepper

  • 4 green onions, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon hot bean sauce

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

  1. Stir together the honey, peppercorns, salt, soy sauce, and sherry in a large bowl; add the chicken and toss to coat.

  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Add the ginger, garlic, red chile pepper, and green onions; cook and stir until fragrant, no more than 30 seconds. Stir in the chicken and soy sauce mixture; fry another 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover. Simmer until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes.

  4. Whisk together the bean sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl; pour over the chicken and stir. Turn heat to high and allow to cook 1 minute. Serve immediately.
