Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Shaoxing Wine, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Add the chicken pieces and marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Step 2

In another medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, balsamic vinegar, hoisin sauce, granulated sugar, water, and cornstarch. Set it aside for a few minutes.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer without crowding. Cook the chicken until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through. Cook in batches. Plate the chicken and cover it loosely with foil to keep it warm.

Step 4

Add 1 tablespoons vegetable oil to the skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and cook for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, ginger, dried chilies, green onions, and peanuts, cooking for 1 minute and stirring constantly.

Step 5

Whisk the sauce ingredients 1 more time and add them to the skillet with the veggies. Cook until thickened, stirring frequently. Add the cooked chicken to the skillet, toss to coat, and warm for a couple of minutes, for best results, serve promptly.
