This classic stir-fried chicken dish is an excellent introduction to techniques for producing a flavorful dish with aromatics that are just cooked enough to flavor the dish, tender meat, and crisp veggies.
Ingredients
-
Marinated Chicken:
- 1 egg white
- 1 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp. sherry
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 1 lb. chicken breast, sliced
Lemon-Ginger Sauce:
- 1 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
- 6 Tbsp. sherry
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken stock
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. grated ginger
Stir-Fry:
- ⅓ cup canola oil, divided
- 1 lb. snow peas
- 1 Tbsp. grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 scallions, whites only, minced
Directions
- Whisk together marinade ingredients and toss with chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator while you prepare the remaining ingredients (20 minutes).
- Whisk together sauce ingredients. Set aside.
- Heat all but 1 tablespoon of oil to a wok or large skillet over medium-high. Cook marinated chicken until barely white (1 minute). Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl.
- Wipe out the pan. Add remaining oil and heat until smoking. Add snow peas and cook, stirring, until lightly charred (30 seconds).
- Return chicken to the pan and toss to combine. Add ginger, garlic, and scallions, tossing and stirring until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are just barely tender (30 seconds).
- Pour sauce into the pan and toss to coat. Cook until sauce is just thickened (30 seconds).
