How to Make Thai Chicken With Spicy Peanut Sauce
- **Prepare the Peanut Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon sriracha (or more, to taste), 1 clove minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons water until completely smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- **Cook the Rice:** Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add 1 cup of rice, stir once, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- **Prepare the Chicken:** Cut 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1/2-inch wide strips.
- **Stir-fry the Chicken:** Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 tablespoon minced ginger during the last minute of cooking.
- **Combine the Sauce and Vegetables:** Add 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1/2 cup bamboo shoots (drained), 1/4 cup chopped peanuts, and the prepared peanut sauce to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
- **Simmer and Serve:** Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld. Serve the chicken over the cooked rice. Garnish with extra chopped peanuts and green onions, if desired.
