Serves 4-6


Ingredients:

400g boneless chicken breast with skin
1 tsp finely grated ginger
1 tbsp dry sherry
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 fresh or dried red chilli, sliced
½ cup raw peanuts, skinned
½ cup vegetable oil
1 medium onion, sliced from top to base
1 small red capsicum, cut into diamonds
1 small green capsicum, cut into diamonds
1 cup bamboo shoots
½ cup chicken stock
1 tsp chilli sauce, optional
2 tsp cornflour


Method:

  1. Cut the chicken into 2-cm cubes and place in a dish with the ginger, sherry and soy sauce. Mix well and marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. Fry the chilli and peanuts in hot oil for about 1 minute and remove. Pour off half the oil. Stir-fry the onion, capsicum and bamboo shoots for 1 minute, then remove or push to the side of the pan and stir-fry the chicken for about 2 minutes or until just cooked through.
  3. Add the combined chicken stock, sauce and cornflour. Bring to the boil over high heat, stirring until thickened.
  4. Return capsicum mixture and stir in chilli and peanuts. Heat through briefly.

Note: Make this dish also with large prawns, diced pork, or cubes of bean curd previously fried in oil to crisp the surface.
