Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, ¼ teaspoon sesame oil, and 2 large cloves crushed garlic. Stir to mix and set the sauce aside.
-
Step 2.
Cut ¾ pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs into roughly ¾-inch cubes. Place the chicken in a medium bowl, add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and mix well. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon cornstarch over the chicken and mix again until evenly coated.
-
Step 3.
Preheat a wok over high heat until wisps of smoke rise from the surface. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the chicken and spread it into a single layer in the wok using a spatula. Sear for about 15 seconds, then stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until the chicken is nearly cooked through.
-
Step 4.
Add 12 to 15 trimmed snow peas to the wok and stir-fry for 1 minute, until they turn bright dark green. Pour in the reserved sauce and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes more, until any larger chicken pieces are fully cooked through. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
