I love a good stir fry, but sometimes they're a bit labor intensive. This one is simple, fresh, and so good!
Recipe type: Main
Cuisine: Stir Fry
Serves: 3-4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts (cut crosswise into thin strips)
  • 3½ T. Peanut Oil
  • 1 t. Baking Soda
  • 2 t. Cornstarch
  • Salt
  • 1 T. Oyster Sauce
  • ¾ lb (375 g) Sugar Snap Peas, cut in half crosswise on the diagonal
  • White Rice, cooked (for serving)
  • Soy Sauce (for serving)
Preparation Instructions
  1. Start off by slicing the chicken into thin strips crosswise. Then toss it with 1½ tablespoons of peanut oil, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Cover the dish and refrigerate for an hour.
  2. While the chicken marinates (with about 10-20 minutes left), cook your rice using your favorite method. When it’s done, set it aside until you’re ready for it.
  3. Remove the chicken from the fridge about 15 minutes before you’re ready to cook it.
  4. The only prep to do is to remove the stem and pull the string that runs down the side from the peas. Then slice each sugar snap pea in half on a diagonal.
  5. When you’re ready to cook, heat a wok or large non-stick skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of peanut oil to the pan. Once it’s hot, add the chicken to the pan in a single layer. Let the chicken cook without moving it for a minute. Then sauté in the pan for another 1-2 minutes until the chicken is cooked. Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce to the chicken, stir it around for another 30 seconds. Then remove the cooked chicken from the pan.
  6. Add the peas to the hot pan and sauté for about 1-2 minutes. I looked for it to get a bit brown on the outside, but don’t overcook as you want the peas to still be bright and fresh tasting. Add the chicken back to the pan and sauté for another 30 seconds and serve it up right away. Top rice with the stir fry, add some soy sauce over the top and enjoy!
