Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp vinegar (any kind )
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp ground ginger
2 boneless chicken breast halves (about 10 oz)
2 scallions
1/2 red bell pepper
snow peas
1 tbsp corn oil
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tbsp ketchup
1/4 cup peanuts ( salted or unsalted , but not honey-roasted)

Directions:

Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and ginger in a medium size bowl; stir and set aside.
Cut the chicken breasts into strips. Add to the bowl and marinate for 10 minutes.
Wash the scallions. Trim 1/4 inch off the white root end and 2 inches off the top of the green stalks and discard them. Cut the remaining white and green parts into 1/2-inch pieces.
Wash the red bell pepper. Remove and discard the stem and seeds; then slice the pepper into 1/4-inch strips.
Wash the snow peas and pull the strings off the sides by snapping 1/4 inch off each end and pulling firmly along each edge. Discard the ends and strings.
Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the red pepper flakes and cook for a few seconds.
Add the chicken, plus the marinade in the bowl, and stir-fry for 3 minutes, or until the chicken has turned white on all sides.
Add the scallions, red bell pepper and snow peas and stir-fry for 2 more minutes, or until the vegetables just begin to soften. Stir in the orange juice and ketchup and heat through.
Add the peanuts and stir. Serve hot.
