Ingredients

Directions

  1. Slice 3/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips.
  2. Prepare vegetables: slice 1/2 lb mushrooms, slice 2 medium carrots thinly, slice 1 red bell pepper into thin strips, and prepare 3 cups of snow peas.
  3. Mince 1 clove of garlic and measure 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional).
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of corn oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  5. Add mushrooms, snow peas, carrots, red pepper, garlic, and crushed red pepper to the hot skillet.
  6. Stir-fry vegetables rapidly for 2-3 minutes until they are tender-crisp but still vibrant.
  7. Remove the cooked vegetables from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  8. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of corn oil to the skillet.
  9. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.
  10. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside with the vegetables.
  11. In the same skillet, combine 1 cup of stir-fry sauce, 1/2 cup of water, and 1 teaspoon of dark sesame oil or chili oil (optional).
  12. Stir constantly and bring the sauce mixture to a boil, then boil for 1 minute to thicken slightly.
  13. Return the chicken and vegetables to the skillet with the sauce.
  14. Toss everything together, stirring constantly, until heated through and well-coated.
