Saucy chicken with green onions and roasted peanuts, with just a little heat from red pepper flakes.
This recipe satisfies my cravings for Chinese food! Some homemade Chinese food recipes seem complicated and time consuming, but this one is not. The red pepper flakes add a little bit of heat, but it's not super spicy.

Cut chicken into 1 inch pieces, and place in a bowl. Add cornstarch to chicken and toss to coat.
Heat sesame oil in a large saute pan or wok over medium heat. Add chicken and stir-fry 5 – 7 minutes or until no longer pink inside. Remove chicken from pan.
While chicken is cooking, in another small bowl make the sauce by combining rice vinegar, soy sauce and sugar. Mix well.
Add 3 green onions, garlic, red pepper flakes and powdered ginger to the pan and stir fry for 15 seconds.

Return the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce. Stir in roasted peanuts. Heat thoroughly.
