👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated. This helps create a crispy texture.
- 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chili sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, and sugar to make the devilled sauce. Set aside.
- 3
Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the wok and set aside.
- 4
Add the remaining 1-2 tbsp of oil to the wok. Add chopped garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 5
Add the onion wedges, bell pepper chunks, and green chilies. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- 6
Pour the prepared devilled sauce into the wok. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- 7
Return the fried chicken to the wok. Toss everything together to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly with the sauce. Cook for another minute until heated through.
- 8
Garnish with chopped spring onions. Serve hot as an appetizer or with rice or noodles.
