Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked rice (cooked as directed on package)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, if desired
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 1 cup fresh pea pods, trimmed, cut diagonally in half
  • 1 (8-oz.) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 2 cups chopped Chinese (napa) cabbage

Steps

  • 1
    In small bowl, combine broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and salt; mix well. Set aside.
  • 2
    Heat oil in large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add garlic, almonds and chicken; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and almonds are golden brown.
  • 3
    Add bell pepper; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add pea pods and water chestnuts; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add cabbage and cornstarch mixture; cook and stir until sauce is thickened and bubbly. Serve over rice.

  • Water chestnuts-edible tubers that grow underwater-add mild crunch to cold salads and hot entrees. They're available canned, either whole or silced. Fresh water chestnuts, available in Chinese markets, are another thing all together, endowed with a much crisper texture and an incredible natural sweetness. Peel them before using.
  • When cooking in a wok, add the ingredients a small amount at a time in the center of the wok. As they begin to cook, move them up the sides of the wok and stir the next batch of ingredients into the middle.
