Sesame Chicken With Ginger And Snow Peas Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil and the honey together in a medium bowl. Add the chicken, toss and marinate 20 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade using a slotted spoon. Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in 2 batches, turning once or twice, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes (add 2 more teaspoons canola oil between batches). Transfer the chicken to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
• Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil in the skillet. Add the scallions, reserving some of the green parts for topping. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk the broth, sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, chili paste and the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a bowl; add to the skillet and cook, stirring, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil.
• Meanwhile, cook the snow peas in a steamer basket set over a few inches of boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Return the chicken to the skillet with the sauce and heat through. Serve the chicken and snow peas over brown rice, if desired. Top with the sesame seeds and reserved scallion greens.

Steps:

• Put the cornstarch in a small bowl. Add 1/2 cup broth, the soy sauce, and pepper, whisking to dissolve the cornstarch. Set aside.
• In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the chicken for 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Stir in the snow peas, garlic, and gingerroot. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Add the broth mixture. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, stirring constantly. If the mixture begins to burn, remove from the heat for a moment or stir in the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons broth.
