Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 lb snow peas, trimmed
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick strips
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 slices orange zest, each about 3 inches long
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 large red bell pepper, quartered, stemmed, seeded, and cut crosswise into thin strips
1 (5 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons bottled teriyaki sauce or 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon asian-style toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
4 cups steamed white rice

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.

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon water
1 whole skinless boneless chicken breasts (about 3/4 pound), cut into 3/4-inch-thick pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced scallion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh gingerroot
1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips

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.

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. Serve the chicken stir-fry over the rice.
