My neighbor from Shangai just came over to teach me this recipe. She says she always makes it for potlucks and everybody loves it. I can see why.
Ingredients:
2 cups roasted peanuts (if peanuts are not roasted, see * below.)
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 inches gingerroot, minced
3 scallions, chopped
4 -5 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cubed
3/4 cup soybean paste, sweetened (found in asian markets)
1/3 cup sugar
Directions:
1. Fry garlic and ginger on medium-high heat until beginning to brown. Add green onion and let fry for half a minute.
2. Add chicken cubes and turn up the heat to high, stir-frying until opaque.
3. Turn heat back down to medium. Toss in peanuts and soybean paste, stirring to coat.
4. Sprinkle sugar over the mixture and stir for a minute or two longer.
5. Serve with rice.
6. *If your peanuts are not roasted, put them in an oven preheated at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Stir once before done. Take them out before completely roasted because they continue to cook once out of the oven.
