👨‍🍳 조리법

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.
