Back in Dallas, I had unlimited access to all types of food. One of my favorite was a Taiwanese spot called Genroku. Their jalapeño chicken is to die for! The spice is intense at first, but quickly becomes addictive. I can’t stop craving it.
But as there is no Genroku here, I resorted to making my own. The original didn’t call for red cabbage, but I wanted some veggies and that’s what I had in my fridge.
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp of vegetable oil
- chicken breast (chopped into squares)
- 1/3 cup of sesame oil
- 1 tsp of diced ginger
- 1 tsp of diced garlic
- 1/3 cup of soy sauce
- 1/3 cup of water
- 1/3 cup of rice wine
- 3 tbs of sugar
- 2 jalapeños
- 1/2 a head of red cabbage
Directions:
- Stir-fry chicken in vegetable oil until golden, remove from pan
- Saute ginger and garlic in sesame oil
- Toss in chicken
- Pour in the rest of the ingredients
- Let it come to a boil, and then lower heat and leave to simmer (about 5-10 minutes, depending on heat)
- Once the liquids are reduced to a thick sauce, remove and enjoy
