Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts (4 halves), cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons rice vinegar (not seasoned)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced lengthwise
3/4 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and caps quartered
1 1/4 cups frozen peas, thawed
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
Accompaniment: steamed rice

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and season with salt.
  • Stir together water, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
  • Heat a wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat until a bead of water dropped onto cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add 1 tablespoon oil, swirling wok to coat evenly, and heat until hot and just smoking. Add onion and stir-fry until golden and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer onion to a large bowl.
  • Add 1/2 tablespoon oil to wok and heat until just smoking, then stir-fry half of chicken until just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to bowl with onion and stir-fry remaining chicken in 1/2 tablespoon oil in same manner, transferring to bowl.
  • Add remaining tablespoon oil to wok and heat until just smoking, then stir-fry mushrooms until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add peas and stir-fry until heated through, about 1 minute, then transfer to bowl.
  • Add vinegar mixture and sesame seeds to wok and, when liquid just reaches a boil, add chicken mixture and stir-fry until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and serve over rice.

This dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the vegetables were a bit mushy. The sauce was also a bit too sweet for my taste. I would not order this dish again.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. It took me over an hour to make, and I'm not sure it was worth it. The chicken was good, but the vegetables were a bit bland. The sauce was also a bit too sweet for my taste. I would not recommend this

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and dry, and the vegetables were burnt. The sauce was also way too salty. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
