Steps:
- Mix the cornstarch, light soy sauce, and oil in a bowl for the marinade. And add toss in the chicken. Set aside. Mix 1/3 cup of hot water or chicken stock with cornstarch into a slurry and set aside. If you like more sauce for the rice, increase your hot water/stock and add more salt or soy sauce to taste.
- Heat the wok over high heat until smoking, add a tablespoon of oil to coat the wok and spread the chicken around evenly. Let the chicken sear (don't move the pieces) for about 60 seconds until browned on one side. If the wok is heated properly, the chicken should not stick. Next, give the chicken a quick stir and add the minced garlic and snow peas. Add the shaoxing wine around the rim of the wok to deglaze and stir everything together using a bottom to top folding motion for about 30 seconds.
- Movement is important for the snow peas to cook evenly. The pods should be just starting to turn bright green now. Working quickly, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir to combine, about 15 seconds.
- Stir up your slurry mix (the water and starch has probably separated by now) and add to the wok. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds, or until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon. All of the pea pods should be bright green by now. Don't overcook or you precious pea pods will become limp and turn yellow!
- Plate and serve immediately with steamed rice.

Steps:
- Mix the soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch, and ginger in a small bowl. Pour about a third of the mixture over the chicken in a large bowl and toss with your hands; set aside. Reserve the remaining liquid.
- Heat the peanut oil in a large cast-iron skillet or wok over high heat. Add the snow peas and stir-fry for 45 seconds. Remove to a plate and set aside.
- Let the skillet get very hot again. Using tongs, add the chicken mixture, leaving most of the marinade in the bowl. Spread out the chicken as you add it to the pan but do not stir for a good minute so the chicken gets nice and brown on the bottom. Then flip the chicken and cook through, tossing occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add ½ cup water, the reserved marinade, and the snow peas to the skillet. Cook over high heat, stirring, for 30 seconds, then turn off the heat. (The sauce will thicken as it sits.) Season with salt only if it needs it. Serve over rice and top with red pepper flakes and cashews, if desired. Serve with more soy sauce.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help prevent the chicken livers from sticking and will also help to create a more flavorful dish.
- Cook the chicken livers in batches: If you try to cook too many chicken livers at once, they will steam instead of fry and will end up tough and chewy. Cook them in batches of no more than 1/2 pound at a time.
- Don't overcook the chicken livers: Chicken livers are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them just until they are no longer pink in the center.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for snow peas, but you can use any type of vegetable that you like. Some other good options include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fried chicken livers are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Stir-fried chicken livers with snow peas is a quick and easy dish that is packed with flavor. The chicken livers are tender and juicy, and the snow peas are crisp and colorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
