Steps

1

Measure and prepare all ingredients. Marinate the chicken and keep aside or refrigerate until further use.
2

Make cornflour slurry and keep aside too.
Fry peanuts in oil on a low flame till golden.
3

In a separate bowl mix together water, light soy sauce, vinegar, honey, sesame oil, sriracha, dark soy sauce and leave aside.
4

Using the same oil in which peanuts were fried, heat in a pan over medium flame, cook the marinated chicken in a single layer, as soon as it changes colour, dish out and keep aside.
5

Again, in the same oil saute onions till translucent, add ginger garlic and saute till fragrant. Now add the red chilies, chicken, red and green capsicums and the sauce mix and stir well.
6

Lastly add the cornflour slurry, mix well and turn off the flame. You do not want the veggies to discolour or soften. Dish out and garnish with fried peanuts and spring onions.
Serve with rice of your choice. Enjoy!
