How to Make Real Chinese Takeout at Home

chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu is lower in calories and suitable for vegetarians; chicken thighs are often cheaper than breasts.

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Marinate chicken in soy sauce, egg, and cornstarch.

Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat.

Fry the chicken pieces until golden and crispy, then remove and set aside.

In the same wok, stir-fry garlic, ginger, and red chili peppers until fragrant.

Add the fried chicken back to the wok along with sugar, rice vinegar, and soy sauce.

Toss everything together until well coated and heated through.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
