Description

A healthy take on a popular Chinese dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
  • 1 cup Onion, Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Crushed
  • 1 pound Skinless, Boneless Chicken Thighs, Cut Into 1" Pieces
  • ¾ cups Water
  • 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce, Low Sodium
  • 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Ginger, Minced
  • 1 cup Snow Peas, Trimmed
  • 1 cup Red Bell Pepper, Sliced Thin
  • Rice, To Serve
  • 2 Tablespoons Dry Roasted Peanuts, To Serve
  • Red Pepper Flakes, To Serve

Preparation

Heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir constantly for 30 seconds. Add chicken and sauté until chicken browns.

Next combine the water, soy sauce, corn starch, brown sugar and ginger and mix until sugar dissolves. Add to the chicken and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the snow peas and red pepper. Cook for 2-5 minutes (until vegetables are crisp and sauce thickens). Serve over rice with peanuts and red pepper flakes.

Tasty and easy. I used regular peas instead of the snow peas.
