- Combine the following in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add peanuts; cook and stir until lightly toasted. Remove and set aside.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in wok or skillet over medium heat. Add chiles and stir fry until chiles begin to char, about 1 minute.
- Increase heat to high. Add chicken mixture and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add ginger; stir fry until chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute.
- Add the peanuts and onions and stir. (I turn the temp back down to medium at this point). Stir the sauce mixture and add to wok or skillet. Stir and once the sauce boils and thickens (very quickly) you are done! Serve with rice.
