Stir Fried Chicken With Red Peppers And Snow Peas Food

HOW TO MAKE STIR-FRY IN JUST 35 MINUTES

Steps:

• Mix the soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch, and ginger in a small bowl. Pour about a third of the mixture over the chicken in a large bowl and toss with your hands; set aside. Reserve the remaining liquid.
• Heat the peanut oil in a large cast-iron skillet or wok over high heat. Add the snow peas and stir-fry for 45 seconds. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• Let the skillet get very hot again. Using tongs, add the chicken mixture, leaving most of the marinade in the bowl. Spread out the chicken as you add it to the pan but do not stir for a good minute so the chicken gets nice and brown on the bottom. Then flip the chicken and cook through, tossing occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add ½ cup water, the reserved marinade, and the snow peas to the skillet. Cook over high heat, stirring, for 30 seconds, then turn off the heat. (The sauce will thicken as it sits.) Season with salt only if it needs it. Serve over rice and top with red pepper flakes and cashews, if desired. Serve with more soy sauce.

Steps:

• Bring a medium-size saucepan full of water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice cubes and water. When the pot of water reaches a boil, add a teaspoon of salt. Add the snow peas and cook 15 seconds, then remove from the boiling water using a skimmer or slotted spoon and transfer to the ice water. Allow the peas to sit in the ice water for a few minutes, then drain.
• Heat a wok or a large skillet over high heat. Add the peanut oil. As soon as it is hot enough to swirl easily around the wok, season the chicken strips with salt and pepper to taste, add them to the wok, and cook, stirring continuously, for about 2 minutes. Add the sugar, garlic, orange zest, onion, bell pepper, water chestnuts, and ginger, and continue to stir-fry for 3 minutes more. Add the snow peas, teriyaki or hoisin sauce, optional hot red pepper flakes, and sesame oil. Continue to stir and toss the ingredients until they are evenly coated with the sauce and the snow peas are hot and tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes more. Sprinkle on the cilantro and serve hot over steamed rice.

Steps:

• In a bowl stir together 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of the vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of the sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of the water until the cornstarch is dissolved, add the chicken, and let it marinate for 15 minutes. In a small bowl stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/3 cup water with the sugar, the salt, and the broth until the cornstarch is dissolved and reserve the mixture. In a wok or large heavy skillet heat the vegetable oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it stir-fry the chicken mixture until the chicken is opaque and just cooked through, and transfer the chicken with a slotted spoon to a sieve set over a bowl. Discard all but about 2 tablespoons of the oil remaining in the wok and in it stir-fry the scallion, the garlic, and the gingerroot for 10 seconds, or until the mixture is fragrant. Add the bell pepper and the snow peas and stir-fry mixture for 1 minute. Add the reserved broth mixture and the chicken and stir-fry the mixture for 1 minute, or until the chicken is heated through.
