Scallion Boneless Chicken Ingredients 2 boneless chicken thighs (about 300-350g, cut into bite-sized pieces 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground black pepper 4 slices ginger (sliced thinly) 1 tbsp cooking wine (rice wine preferred) 1 tbsp cornstarch 1 tsp cooking oil (for marinating) 2 tbsp cooking oil (for pan-frying) 3 stalks scallions (white and green parts chopped separately) 2-3 red/green chili peppers (sliced, adjust to taste) 1 tbsp low-sodium light soy sauce Instructions Pat the boneless chicken thighs dry with paper towels, cut into bite-sized pieces. Add salt, ground black pepper, ginger slices, cooking wine, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly to coat each piece evenly, drizzle 1 tsp cooking oil to lock in moisture, and marinate for 15 minutes. Heat 2 tbsp cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and pan-fry undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden and the chicken is cooked through. Scoop out excess oil with a spoon. Toss in chopped scallion whites first, stir-fry over high heat for 15 seconds. Add chili peppers and scallion greens, continue stir-frying for another 15 seconds until fragrant. Add 1 tbsp low-sodium light soy sauce, stir quickly to coat the chicken evenly, and serve immediately! The chicken is tender, juicy, and wrapped in a rich scallion aroma—totally tasty! Cooking Tips Patting the chicken dry helps achieve a crispy golden crust during pan-frying. Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to prevent steaming. Adjust chili pepper quantity based on spice tolerance—skip if you prefer mild flavors. For a glossy, savory finish, add 1/2 tsp honey or low-sodium oyster sauce with the soy sauce.
