Provided by PineyCook

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, plus 2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar or honey
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, plus 1 tablespoon
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
5 slices ginger
6 medium carrots, julienned or spiralized into long "noodles"
2 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
2 large handfuls of baby spinach

Steps:

In a bowl, combine the chicken with 2 teaspoons oil, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar or honey, 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger, and fry for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and slightly crisp. Add the chicken all in 1 layer, and allow to sear on one side for 1 minute. Once seared, stir-fry the chicken for a few seconds, and then add the carrot noodles. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, and add an additional tablespoon of soy sauce, along with the scallions. Stir-fry for 1 minute, and then add the baby spinach. Stir in the spinach until it's just wilted (it should only take a few seconds). Serve, and top with more chopped scallions if desired!
