Step 1
Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. In a bowl, toss chicken with 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, 2 tbsp soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, 1 tsp cornstarch, and sesame oil for the Kung Pao sauce.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add diced red bell pepper and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
Step 5
Return chicken to the skillet. Pour in the prepared Kung Pao sauce and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the dry roasted peanuts. Garnish with chopped scallions and serve immediately with steamed rice.
