INGREDIENTS conv. chart U.S. Metric

3 tablespoon(s) soy sauce
1 tablespoon(s) (peeled and grated ) fresh ginger
1 teaspoon(s) sugar
1 teaspoon(s) cornstarch
.5 teaspoon(s) (crushed) red pepper
2 clove(s) garlic, minced
.5 cup(s) water
1 pound(s) (boneless, skinless) chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
3 teaspoon(s) vegetable oil
1 large onion, cut into thin strips
2 small green bell peppers, cut into thin strips
.66 cup(s) (unsalted) roasted peanuts, produce

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a small bowl, with a fork, combine soy sauce, ginger, sugar, cornstarch, crushed red pepper, garlic and water. Transfer 2 Tbsp. of the sauce to a medium bowl; add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  2. In a nonstick 12-inch skillet, warm 2 tsp. oil over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the chicken and cook until meat loses its pink color throughout, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  3. Add remaining 1 tsp. oil to the same skillet and heat until hot. Add onion and bell peppers, and stir-fry about 5 minutes. (Add 1 to 2 Tbsp. water if skillet is dry.)
  4. Pour remaining stir-fry sauce over vegetables and boil 1 minute. Return chicken to skillet along with peanuts and heat through. Serve over rice, if you like.
