The 10 minute Stir Fry
Serves 4
1 Tlbs. peanut or vegetable oil
2 cups red pepper strips, onion slices, or a combination of the two
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2 to 3/4 inch chunks
1 cup halved walnuts, whole cashews, or other nuts
3 Tlbs. hoisin sauce
1. Place the oil in a large, non-stick skillet (12 inches is best)
and turn the heat to high; a minute later, add the vegetables in a
single layer and cook, undisturbed, until they begin to char a little
on the bottom, about 1 minute. Stir and cook 1 minute more.
2. Add the meat and stir once or twice. Again, cook until the bottom
begins to blacken a bit, about a minute.
stir and cook another minute; by this time the vegetables will have
softened and meat will be done, or nearly so (cut into a piece if you
want to check). Lower the heat to medium.
Stir in the nuts and the hoisin sauce. Cook for about 15 seconds,
then add 2 tablespoons of water. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is
bubbly and glazes all the meat and vegetables. Serve immediately,
with white rice.
