1

Cook rice according to directions.

2

Beat the egg in a large bowl. Put the cornstarch in another bowl. Add the chicken to the egg and toss to coat; a few pieces at a time, remove chicken from egg and coat in the cornstarch; tap off excess; transfer to a plate.

3

Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; in two batches, cook chicken, turning occasionally, until golden (about 3-5 minutes). Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate.

4

Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprouts, ginger, and garlic and cook 2-3 minutes, or until it begins to soften. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and 3/4 cup water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are crisp-tender and the liquid begins to thicken, about 2-3 additional minutes.

5

Return chicken to skillet, along with the chili, sesame oil, and scallions, and heat through (about 1 minute). Serve over rice garnished with peanuts.
