You can use pork tenderloin cut into strips, in place of chicken for this recipe. The oyster sauce is optional but I add it in to mostly all of my stir-frys for added taste, if you have some add in a couple of tablespoons towards the end it will really perk up stir-fry dish!. We prefer our veggies crisp, if you like a softer texture, then you can steam the veggies first if you wish before stir-frying them. Serve the is cooked rice. Ingredients:
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes |
8 tablespoons soy sauce |
3 tablespoons honey |
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic, divided |
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (or to taste) |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
4 tablespoons canola oil, divided |
3/4 lb green beans, cut into about 1-1/2-inch pieces |
2 carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks |
3 cups snow peas (or to taste) |
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips |
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger |
5 green onions, chopped |
1 cup dry roasted salted peanut |
3 -4 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a bowl combine the chicken with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon garlic and the red pepper flakes.
2. In another small bowl mix/whisk together remaining 6 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey and 2 teaspoons cornstarch; set aside.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok or a large non stick skillet over high heat, add in the chicken; stir-fry for 1 minute, then transfer to a dish.
4. Add in another couple tablespoons oil if needed, and add in the green beans, red pepper strips, snow peas and minced ginger; stir-fry until crisp-tender about 3 minutes (adding in the remaining 1 tablespoon garlic the last minute).
5. Return the chicken back to the wok or skillet.
6. Add in the reserved soy sauce/cornstarch mixture; stir until heated through and thickened (about 1 minute).
7. Season with salt and pepper (if you are using the oyster sauce the do not add in any salt) then add in the oyster sauce if using; mix to combine.
8. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and salted peanuts.
