Scallion Chicken with Sweet Vinegar Sauce
This scallion chicken is a perfect quick meal that is ready in under 30 minutes. The chicken comes out super tender, and the sweet tangy vinegar sauce is just so mouth watering!
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into bite size pieces
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- 1 tablespoon tamari
- 1 tablespoon sake or Shaoxing wine, or dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or any neutral tasting oil
For the sauce:
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 5 stalks scallion finely chopped
Instructions
- Place the chicken in a bowl and marinate in the mix of grated garlic, tamari, and sake. Cover and leave for 10-20 minutes. Then sprinkle cornstarch over the meat and toss well.
- While marinating the chicken, combine the tamari, rice vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and sugar together in a small cup and set aside.
- Heat up the olive oil in a pan, and cook the chicken fully over medium heat. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Make the sauce using the same pan (no need to wash). Heat up the sesame oil and cook the scallion for about 30 seconds. Then add in the seasoning mix from step 2 and cook for another minute.
- Pour the scallion sauce over the chicken and serve. Optional: Drizzle la-yu (spicy oil) on top!
