Yield: 4
Adapted from: The Kitchn
Ok, this sucks. Looking for a replacement.
For marinating the chicken:
- 3boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced crosswise
- 2tsp cornstarch
- 2tsp soy sauce
- 2tsp vegetable oil
For the rest of the dish:
- 3TBS vegetable oil
- 2cloves garlic, chopped
- 1lb snap peas or sugar snap peas, trimmed and washed
- 2TBS Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
- 3TBS soy sauce
- 2tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1tsp sugar
- black pepper, to taste
For slurry:
- ⅔cup chicken stock
- 2TBS cornstarch
- Steamed rice, for serving
Toss the chicken with the marinade ingredients and set aside for 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Combine the ⅔ cup chicken stock with 2 TBS cornstarch to make a slurry (stir out any lumps) and set aside.
When you’re ready to cook, heat a wok or skillet over high heat almost until smoking. Add 3 TBS oil and sear the chicken just until browned. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.
Add the garlic and snap peas to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the chicken back to the wok, along with the Shaoxing rice wine (or sherry), soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and pepper. Then give the cornstarch slurry a stir and add it to the wok. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds, until the sauce has thickened. Serve with rice.
