Marinade:
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine -- or sake
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast halves -- cut into bite-sized pieces
Stir-frying oil:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil -- divided
Sauce:
1/2 cup fat-free chicken broth -- less sodium
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine -- or sake
1 tablespoon Chinese Black Vinegar or Worcestershire sauce
1 1/4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
2 tablespoons green onions -- minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger -- peeled and minced
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic -- minced (about 7 cloves)
1 teaspoon chile paste with garlic
Remaining ingredients:
1 1/2 cups waterchestnuts -- drained and sliced
1 cup green onion -- tops only, cut into
1/2" slices
6 cups long-grain rice -- cooked and hot
To prepare marinade, combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl; cover and chill 20 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken mixture; stir-fry 4 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove from pan; set aside.
To prepare sauce, combine broth and next 6 ingredients (broth through 1 teaspoon sesame oil); stir well with a whisk. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in pan. Add 2 tablespoons green onions, ginger, garlic, and chile paste, and stir-fry for 15 seconds. Add broth mixture, and cook 1 minute or until thick, stirring constantly.
Stir in cooked chicken, water chestnuts, sliced onion tops, and peanuts; cook for 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Serve over rice. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup stir-fry and 1 cup rice).
NOTES : Also known as kung pao chicken, this Sichuan classic, with its multidimensional hot-sweet and salty-sour flavors, reflects the regional style. Serve with rice and a steamed vegetable. The Long-Grain Rice recipe can be found in the Jan/Feb 2001 issue.
