👨‍🍳 作り方

1
In a bowl, whisk together guava nectar, soy sauce, brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
2
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.
4
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
5
Remove chicken from marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear the chicken pieces in batches until browned on all sides. Do not overcrowd the pan.
6
Return all chicken to the skillet. Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken.
7
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
8
Stir the cornstarch slurry and slowly pour it into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
9
Serve the guava chicken hot, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. It pairs well with steamed rice.

Use chicken breast instead of thighs, but reduce cooking time to avoid drying out.
Add chunks of pineapple to the sauce during the last 10 minutes of cooking for a more tropical fruit medley.
