How to Make Chicken Almond Guy Ding

  1. Blanch 1 cup of almonds in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain and immediately plunge into ice water. Gently peel off the skins.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss the blanched almonds with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  3. While almonds are roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is lightly browned.
  4. Add 1 cup of chicken broth, 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger to the wok.
  5. Cover the wok and simmer for 4-6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth. Add to the wok and stir until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  7. Stir in the roasted almonds and serve hot over rice or noodles.
