Directions
- To make the marinade: Mix the egg white, sugar, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and cornstarch together in a medium bowl. Add in the chicken pcs and set aside to marinate for 15 min.

Carefully pour the chicken and oil into a strainer or possibly colander set over a bowl to drain the oil completely from the chicken. Reserve the oil.
- To stir-fry: Heat 2 Tbsp. of the strained oil in a medium-size skillet or possibly wok. Add in the red pepper flakes to flavor the oil and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then add in the chicken, vinegar, soy sauce,and sugar, and heat for 1 minute. Add in the cornstarch mix, bring to a boil, and stir in the peanuts. Transfer the stir-fried chicken to a warmed platter, sprinkle with the coriander, and serve immediately with rice.
