Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by cutting the chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces and placing them in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with salt and add Shaoxing wine. Let the chicken marinate for about 15 minutes at room temperature while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a small bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, light soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and cornstarch until completely combined and smooth. Set this sauce mixture aside.
- After marinating, take the chicken pieces from the bowl and coat them lightly with cornstarch.
- Heat peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it's glistening and hot, about 3 minutes. Carefully add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer. Sear them for about 2 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more peanut oil if needed, then toss in the pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and minced fresh ginger. Sauté these colorful vegetables for 1-2 minutes.
- Stir the sauce mixture you prepared earlier and pour it into the skillet with the sautéed pineapple and bell peppers. Cook this combination, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet, tossing it gently with the vegetable and sauce mixture until everything is evenly coated. Warm through for an additional 1 minute.
