1 lb chicken breast, skinless, boneless, cut into 1/4 inch wide strips |
1/4 cup sherry wine |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
2 tablespoons finely chopped peeled gingerroot |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
4 garlic cloves, crushed |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
1 1/2 cups julienne cut red bell peppers |
1 cup vertically sliced onion |
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
4 cups hot cooked rice |
Directions:
1. Cut 1 star fruit in half crosswise and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice, using a citrus reamer or juicer; set juice aside. Or just whiz it in a food processor or blender on steroids.
2. Dice star fruit halves; set aside.
3. Slice remaining 3 star fruit crosswise and set aside.
4. Combine 2 tablespoons star fruit juice, chicken, sherry, brown sugar, ginger root, soy sauce and garlic in a bowl and stir well. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
