1. To Make Marinade: Combine 1 tablespoon wine, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon cornstarch and stir. Place chicken pieces in a glass dish or bowl and add marinade. Make sure all of the chicken gets a decent coating of the marinade. Cover dish with lid/saran wrap/foil and place in refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
2. To Make Sauce: In a bowl combine 1 tablespoon wine, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, curry paste, vinegar and brown sugar. Mix together and add chives, minced garlic, and (if you want) peanuts. NOTE: My recipe doesn't include the peanuts. In a medium skillet, heat sauce slowly until aromatic.
3. While the sauce cooks, remove chicken from marinade and saute in a large skillet until meat is white and juices run clear. When sauce is aromatic, add sauteed chicken to it and let simmer together until sauce thickens.
4. Makes roughly four 3/4 cup serving. Best served over rice.
