HOT CHICKEN AND PASTA



Hot Chicken and Pasta image

This is a chicken and pasta stir fry that is a bit spicy. I don't find it to be too hot, but if you have a tender mouth, I'd skip the chili oil and reduce the crushed red peppers. I like to use spaghetti, but the original recipe called for linguine. Recipe torn out of a newspaper from St. Petersburg, FL....no author mentioned. The secret to making this recipe easy is to have everything chopped and placed in order of addition to the wok, so your cooking time flows easily and smoothly.

4 ounces spaghetti, uncooked (can use linguine)
6 ounces snow pea pods, fresh (can use broccoli flowerets)
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into strips
3 green onions, chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce (I use reduced sodium soy sauce)
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon chili oil (I sometimes use garlic chili oil)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup peanuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Pour 1 tbsp peanut oil around the top of a preheated wok, coating sides; heat at medium high (325 degrees) for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and gingeroot, and stir-fry 30 seconds. Add half of the chicken pieces; increase the temperature to high (375 degrees), and stir fry 5 minutes. Remove that chicken, and set aside. Add the remaining chicken pieces to the wok, and stir-fry 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the wok; set aside, and keep warm.
  • Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Drain well, and set aside.
  • Pour the remaining 1 tbsp peanut oil around the top of the wok; coating the sides; heat at medium-high (325 degrees) for 2 minutes. Add the snow peas, red bell pepper, and green onions; stir fry 2 minutes.

Let the sauce reach a boil and then reduce the heat to a med-low setting. Cover the pot and allow to simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Then drain off the pasta and add the the pot with the sauce, give a good stir to mix the pasta. Serve in a bowl, or high-edged plate, with some garlic bread on the side.
