Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken thighs with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, minced garlic, cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of rice wine. Mix thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly and let marinate for about 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 5 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown. Set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add 2 more tablespoons of oil and toss in the sliced onions and carrots. Fry for about 5 minutes until the onions become translucent.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the pan with sautéed vegetables. Stir-fry on high heat for about 20-30 seconds and drizzle remaining rice wine. Toss to combine and serve hot.
