-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Chicken breasts*
6 ounces Snow peas
2/3 cup Soy sauce
1 teaspoon Minced fresh ginger
5 Cloves minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon Crushed red pepper
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
2/3 cup Water
1 teaspoon Sugar
2 Egg whites
3 tablespoons Oil
1/2 cup Dry roasted peanuts

* whole boneless skinless
In a bowl combine sherry; egg whites, sugar, 1 Tbsp corn starch. Mix
ingredients well. Cut chicken into bite size pieces and add to egg white
mixture; set aside. In another bowl combine the water, 1 Tsbp cornstarch, soy
sauce. Pre- heat wok or large saute skillet on high heat. Add the 3 Tbsp of
oil. Add the crushed red pepper, garlic and ginger.Cook for 30 seconds and
add chicken mixture. Cooking times vary according to appliance used.
Cook on high heat until done, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, add 1/2 cup
of peanuts.(I like to pulverize mine in a blender or food processor first.
It adds more of a peanutty flavor to the dish.) Add the snow peas and soy
sauce mixture,cover and simmer until snow peas are cooked to your taste. This
dish is best served with plain white rice and is even tastier as a leftover.
(It microwaves well) ENJOY! ! FROM: HERBERT JORGENSEN (DNKX88A)
