Kung Pao Chicken

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 15 minutes.

4. Step 4: Add the onion and red bell pepper to the wok. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
5. Step 5: Add the peanuts and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
6. Step 6: Add the chicken back into the wok, along with the scallions, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry everything together for 1-2 minutes, until the chicken is coated in the sauce.
