Making Chinese food at home is not easy, and eating it out is usually not very healthy. This was a very simple and delicious recipe. I served the peanuts on the side at the table, because I am not a peanut fan.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon bottled minced ginger
- 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
- 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper (about 1 large pepper)
- 1 cup snow peas, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons chopped unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts
Preparation
1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until softened. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add chicken; sauté 3 minutes or until chicken begins to brown.2. Combine 3/4 cup water and the next 5 ingredients (through crushed red pepper), stirring with a whisk until sugar dissolves. Add water mixture to pan; bring to a boil. Add bell pepper and snow peas to pan; cook for 2 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender and sauce thickens. Sprinkle with nuts.
