CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
"How do I make chicken interesting?" is a question people often ask me. Here's your answer. I love making a double batch of this sauce and keeping it in the door of the fridge for a day when I need something tasty in a pinch. Don't like spice? Simply omit the hot sauce and the red pepper flakes. You can also sub thinly sliced lean beef for the chicken or just make it a stir-fry with all vegetables...

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, sesame oil, ginger, two-thirds of the garlic and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth. (If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little more warm water.) Set aside.
- Arrange the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle on one side with salt and the red pepper flakes. Turn the pieces on their other side and sprinkle again with salt.
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add half of the oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly add half of the chicken pieces in a single layer. Return the pan to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
- In the same skillet, stir in the remaining garlic, radishes, radish greens and peppers and season with salt. Mix so the radish greens wilt. Stir in the peanut sauce and simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the peas and the chicken. Turn off the heat and let rest a couple of minutes on the stove. Top with a few grates of lime zest and the juice.

SPICY STIR FRIED CHICKEN WITH GREENS AND PEANUTS
We loved this quick stir fry. It has a bit of heat, but next time I might even add more. If you don't like heat you can leave the serranos out. I used baby bok choy which worked perfectly. This really is fairly quick to make to. From Bon Appetit April 2008.

SPICY CHICKEN FRIED RICE WITH PEANUTS
From Cooking Light. It isn't too spicy as written, but you can always make adjustments by using less crushed red pepper to suit your tastes. If you want to shave time off the prep, use the boil-in-bag brown rice available at many stores.
