CHICKEN ALMOND DING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar and hoisin sauce; set aside.
• In a large pan heat the oil over medium high heat. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper and add it to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and browned, about 3-5 minutes per side.
• Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the vegetables to the pan along with 2 teaspoons of water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp tender, approximately 4-5 minutes depending on the size of your vegetables. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the chicken broth mixture to the pan and turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute, or until sauce has thickened.
• Stir in the almonds and serve immediately, over rice if desired.

ALMOND DING

Steps:

• Lightly oil a baking sheet with nonstick spray or line it with a silicone baking mat.
• In a medium saucepan or skillet, combine the almonds, sugar, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring ever so gently as the mixture begins to darken (vigorous stirring encourages crystallization). Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the mixture is deep amber in color (similar to a cup of coffee with a touch of cream). Gently stir in the salt, then pour the mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet. Avoiding spreading out the almonds except to ensure that they're in a single layer. Using a heatproof spatula, push any spreading caramel back toward the almonds. Let cool completely.
• Once cooled, break into bite-size pieces.
• The candy pieces will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• It's important to use blanched almonds for this recipe. Almond skins make it difficult for the syrup to permeate the nuts and your ding won't be as crunchy.
• I recommend using a very delicate but flavorful sea salt, such as fleur de sel or Maldon Sea Salt (see Resources, page 270).
