Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons Chinese cooking wine
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons peanut oil
4 cloves garlic, minced (2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons ginger, minced
1 teaspoon chili paste
6 ounces snow peas, trimmed
1 8-ounce can bamboo shoots, drained
8 ounces water chestnuts, halved
3 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine soy sauce, cooking wine, cornstarch, and sugar. Stir in chicken and marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Place wok over high heat. When wok smokes, add peanut oil. When oil shimmers, add garlic and ginger and cook for 10 seconds.
  • Remove chicken from marinade. Reserve marinade and add chicken to wok. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned in places and just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in chili paste and snow peas and cook 2 minutes more, or until snow peas are shiny and bright green.
  • Stir in bamboo shoots and water chestnuts and continue cooking until they are heated through, about one minute.
  • Remove from heat, stir in scallions, sesame seeds, and sesame oil and serve immediately.
