Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, ginger powder, and half the minced garlic. Marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and saut until softened, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add marinated chicken to the wok. Cook until browned and nearly done, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add sliced carrots and pour in 3/4 cup chicken stock. Cover and simmer for 3-4 minutes until carrots are tender-crisp.
  5. Add snow peas, green peppers, water chestnuts, and remaining garlic. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until vegetables are bright and crisp.
  6. In a small cup, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1/4 cup remaining chicken stock until smooth.
  7. Pour cornstarch mixture into the wok. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients, about 1 minute.
  8. Serve hot over steamed rice or Chinese noodles.
