Having bought a new Wok recently (yeah another cooking gadget) I pulled out this Chinese cookbook, I love this recipe which comes from the book The art of Wok cooking . Ingredients:

20 snow peas, ends and strings removed |
1 cup sliced water chestnuts, drained |
1 -1 1/2 cup hot chicken stock |
1 pinch salt (or to taste) |
1 cup raw unsalted cashews |
Directions:
1. Marinate chicken for 15-30 minutes in mixture of the first 5 ingredients.
2. Heat oil in uncovered wok until temps reach 375% degrees.
3. Add chicken mixture and stir fry for 3-5 minutes.
4. Add snow peas and water chestnuts stir fry for 1 minute.
