- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Directions:

Note: This recipe calls for boneless thigh meat, which is preferred, but I tried using breast meat and the result was fine also.
-
Mix together sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
-
Cut chicken into a small dice, about 1/4-inch.
-
Heat 1-2 cups peanut or other cooking oil in your wok.

Place cornstarch in a small bowl and begin to dust chicken pieces, shaking off excess.
-
Fry in hot oil in small batches until crispy and golden, about 2-3 minutes; drain.
-
Remove oil from wok and discard.
-
Heat 1 tbsp oil in wok and stir-fry onion about 1 minute; add peas and carrots and cook another 30 seconds.

Add sauce mixture to wok along with chicken pieces and stir to coat everything evenly.
