An easy Chinese style stir fry made with chicken, almonds and plenty of healthy vegetables in a very tasty sauce. An ideal supper dish when served with simple Jasmine rice.
Ingredients
Preparation
-
First make the sauce. Mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar and sugar with 3 tablespoons of cold water. Make a paste with the cornflour and 2-3 teaspoons of cold water and stir it into the sauce. Set aside.
-
Toast the almonds gently in a hot dry pan for a minute or two and then set aside.
-
Peel and finely slice the shallots, peel and roughly grate the ginger, deseed and thinly slice the pepper, wipe and halve the baby mushrooms and diagonally halve the mange tout.
-
Slice the chicken into short strips, removing any skin. Heat a tablespoon of groundnut oil and fry the chicken in a hot wok for 6-7 minutes, or until cooked through and browned. Lift out onto a warm plate with a slotted spoon.
-
Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok and stir fry the shallot for a minute, add the ginger and pepper and cook for a further 2 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots and cook for another minute or two.
-
Return the chicken to the wok and stir in the toasted almonds and the mange tout.
-
Stir in the prepared sauce, lower the heat a little and cook for a few minutes until the sauce is hot and everything has warmed through. Serve with plain Jasmine rice.
