Instructions

  1. Step 1: Toss 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast with 1 tsp cornstarch and set aside.

  3. Step 3: Add 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp julienned ginger, and 1 tbsp crushed white peppercorns to the wok. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Toss in 1 sliced red bell pepper and 1 cup snap peas; stir-fry for 2 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Step 5: Mix 3 tbsp soy sauce with 1/4 cup water and pour into the wok. Cook for another minute until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken and vegetables.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle 1 tbsp sesame oil and sprinkle 2 chopped scallions over the top before serving immediately with steamed jasmine rice.
