Ingredients

This recipe makes 4 servings

3 tbsp (45 mL) soy sauce

4 tsp (18 mL) cornstarch

1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar

1 tbsp (15 mL) sherry or chicken stock

1 tsp (5 mL) sesame oil

1 dash hot pepper sauce

1 lb (454 g) boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts

1 cup (250 mL) snow peas

1 sweet red pepper

1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil

1/3 cup (75 mL) roasted cashews

1 clove of garlic, sliced

1 2 inch piece gingerroot, sliced

Preparation

In small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, sherry, sesame oil and hot pepper sauce; set aside. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces; set aside.

Remove strings from snow peas; cut diagonally in half. Seed, core and cut red pepper into bite-size chunks. Set aside.

In wok or large skillet, heat vegetable oil over high heat; stir-fry chicken, in batches, until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to plate.

Add snow peas, red pepper, cashews, garlic and ginger to wok; cover and steam until red pepper is tender-crisp, about 2 minutes.

Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pan; toss to combine. Stir in soy sauce mixture; simmer until glossy, about 1 minute.

Shortcuts: Look for precut stir-fry chicken strips at the meat counter.
