Step-by-Step Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the delicious sauce ingredients and set aside for later use.
Heat up 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in a large skillet. Add the broccoli and carrots, cooking until slightly tender. Toss in those vibrant red peppers and give them a quick sauté.
Dice chicken into 2-inch chunks and dry them off. Sprinkle with seasonings, mixing well with tongs to coat evenly. Dust with cornstarch and toss again.
In a large skillet, bring 1/3 cup of peanut oil to heat. Fry the chicken in batches until edges are wonderfully crisp. Adjust heat as needed to avoid overcooking.
After clearing excess oil, return chicken to skillet. Pour in the sauce, turning everything until beautifully coated.
Turn stove to medium, allowing the mixture to heat and naturally thicken. If it gets too thick, a bit of water works wonders to loosen it up.
Fold the fresh vegetables into the sauce or keep them on the side. Garnish with a scattering of green onions and peanuts. Serve over rice or noodles for a meal that satisfies.
