CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
"How do I make chicken interesting?" is a question people often ask me. Here's your answer. I love making a double batch of this sauce and keeping it in the door of the fridge for a day when I need something tasty in a pinch. Don't like spice? Simply omit the hot sauce and the red pepper flakes. You can also sub thinly sliced lean beef for the chicken or just make it a stir-fry with all vegetables...

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, sesame oil, ginger, two-thirds of the garlic and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth. (If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little more warm water.) Set aside.
- Arrange the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle on one side with salt and the red pepper flakes. Turn the pieces on their other side and sprinkle again with salt.
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add half of the oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly add half of the chicken pieces in a single layer. Return the pan to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
- In the same skillet, stir in the remaining garlic, radishes, radish greens and peppers and season with salt. Mix so the radish greens wilt. Stir in the peanut sauce and simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the peas and the chicken. Turn off the heat and let rest a couple of minutes on the stove. Top with a few grates of lime zest and the juice.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will make your stir-fry taste its best. If possible, use organic ingredients to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you add too many ingredients to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly. Stir-fry in batches if necessary.
- Use a hot pan: A hot pan will help to sear the vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Stir-fry quickly: Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat for a short amount of time. This will help to preserve their nutrients and flavor.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the vegetables without being too gloppy. If the sauce is too thin, it will not adhere to the vegetables.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve its flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
Spring stir-fry in peanut sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. With its vibrant colors and fresh flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give this spring stir-fry a try!
