directions

  • Fry garlic and ginger on medium-high heat until beginning to brown. Add green onion and let fry for half a minute.
  • Add chicken cubes and turn up the heat to high, stir-frying until opaque.
  • Turn heat back down to medium. Toss in peanuts and soybean paste, stirring to coat.
  • Sprinkle sugar over the mixture and stir for a minute or two longer.
  • Serve with rice.
  • *If your peanuts are not roasted, put them in an oven preheated at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Stir once before done. Take them out before completely roasted because they continue to cook once out of the oven.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Seattle over the summer, and teach in the Dominican Republic over the school year. I have a restaurant out of my home that serves breakfast and dinner to the expatriates of Santo Dominigo every Sunday. The dishes I look for are meant to summon up nostalgia for the food my clientelle ate growing up, as well as that of their travels around the world. I prefer the rustic and traditional, but am always looking for ways to lighten them up so people can leave feeling good.
