By Booper-2

For Shae, who discovered this on a Chinese buffet. I had found this on a buffet also. It is a great little dish, with a little bite of pepper that is quite addictive!

Preparation

Step 1

1 Note: This recipe calls for boneless thigh meat, which is preferred, but I tried using breast meat and the result was fine also. 2 Mix together sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. 3 Cut chicken into a small dice, about 1/4-inch. 4 Heat 1-2 cups peanut or other cooking oil in your wok. 5 Place cornstarch in a small bowl and begin to dust chicken pieces, shaking off excess. 6 Fry in hot oil in small batches until crispy and golden, about 2-3 minutes; drain. 7 Remove oil from wok and discard. 8 Heat 1 tbsp oil in wok and stir-fry onion about 1 minute; add peas and carrots and cook another 30 seconds. 9 Add sauce mixture to wok along with chicken pieces and stir to coat everything evenly. 10 Serve at once with hot steamed rice.
