Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 pound snow peas or sugar snap peas, strings and stems removed
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry

3 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths, dark green parts separated

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the snow peas or sugar snap peas. Boil 30 seconds, and transfer immediately to the ice water. Allow to cool for a few minutes, drain and set aside.

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH YELLOW PEPPERS AND SNOW PEAS



Stir-Fried Chicken with Yellow Peppers and Snow Peas image

Categories     Chicken     Stir-Fry     Quick & Easy     Pea     Bell Pepper     Gourmet

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 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup chicken broth
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
1/4 pound snow peas, trimmed and halved crosswise
cooked rice as an accompaniment

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. Serve the chicken stir-fry over the rice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients and utensils are prepped and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the chicken and vegetables without overcrowding them.
  • Heat your skillet or wok over high heat: This will help sear the chicken and vegetables quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or wok: Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  • Stir constantly: This will help prevent the chicken and vegetables from burning or sticking to the skillet or wok.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste before serving.

Conclusion:

This stir-fried chicken breast with red bell peppers and snow peas is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be tailored to your own dietary needs and preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try!
