Step 2: Add green onions, garlic, red pepper flakes and powdered ginger to the wok and stir fry for 15 seconds.

Step 4: Return chicken to the wok and coat with sauce. Stir in roasted peanuts. Heat thoroughly.

I also made some homemade wontons with a chili sauce and they were a great addition to this meal!
