List of Ingredients




12 ounces skinless chicken breasts, boneless

1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
5 dashes hot pepper sauce, I find the best pepper sauce for this recipe is Cholula Hot Sauce imported

1 cup green onion, cut in 1/2
1/2 cup peanuts
2 cups rice, hot, cooked
