SESAME CHICKEN WITH SNOW PEAS
Skip the take-out and make your own version of this popular sweet-and-savory Chinese-American dish. We've lightened our version up by giving the chicken a quick marinade in soy and honey instead of coating and deep-frying it as most restaurants do. Steamed snow peas and brown rice round out the meal.

Steps:
- Whisk 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil and the honey together in a medium bowl. Add the chicken, toss and marinate 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade using a slotted spoon. Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in 2 batches, turning once or twice, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes (add 2 more teaspoons canola oil between batches). Transfer the chicken to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
- Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil in the skillet. Add the scallions, reserving some of the green parts for topping. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk the broth, sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, chili paste and the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a bowl; add to the skillet and cook, stirring, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil.
- Meanwhile, cook the snow peas in a steamer basket set over a few inches of boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet with the sauce and heat through. Serve the chicken and snow peas over brown rice, if desired. Top with the sesame seeds and reserved scallion greens.

Tips:
- Choose fresh snow peas: Look for bright green, crisp snow peas that snap when you bend them. Avoid limp or yellowed snow peas.
- Trim the snow peas: Remove the tough ends of the snow peas before cooking.
- Blanch the snow peas: Blanching helps to preserve the bright green color of the snow peas and makes them more tender. To blanch the snow peas, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the snow peas. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then remove the snow peas from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Make the sesame sauce: While the snow peas are blanching, you can make the sesame sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame seeds, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Stir-fry the snow peas: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the snow peas and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they are heated through and slightly tender.
- Add the sesame sauce: Add the sesame sauce to the skillet and stir to coat the snow peas. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through.
- Serve immediately: Sesame snow peas are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Sesame snow peas are a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are healthy, delicious, and sure to impress your guests.
