Three Pea Stirfry With Chicken

Boy, I sure do like sugar snap and snow peas. I saw this and it just plain old looked good. The steps are so simple, I didn't really take a lot of pictures. But I'm sure you can figure it out.

Mmm a big ol' pile of peas.

You basically stir fry your chicken, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes, then you add your peas. Then your other peas. Then you're done. WOW. AMAZING.

And then you serve it over rice or noodles. I opted for noodles since we had rice recently. I also drizzled bits of that teriyaki sauce over it and made it extra yummy.

Here's the recipe! Remember to play with it a little. I used 3 or so cloves of garlic, 1 giant chicken breast (next time I'd use 2), one tablespoon of the teriyaki sauce instead of the soy sauce (maybe more with all that drizzling), and so on. I was going to add some sriracha but I figured the red pepper flakes would do their job for Sean, and I didn't want to push it. Oh and I used 8oz of both snow peas and sugar snaps because, well, the two bags were 8oz each. Derp.

Three Pea Stirfry with Chicken (original recipe from here)

Makes 4 side dish servings or 2 main dish servings (with rice)

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 2 boneless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
• 6 oz sugar snap peas, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces
• 6 oz snow peas, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces
• 1 cup frozen green peas
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then stir-fry garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes and chicken slices until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add sugar snaps and snow peas and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add frozen peas and stir-fry until hot, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and season with salt.

It was really tasty, I thought it might be too uh.. "pea-y" for Sean but he really liked it a lot. I love it when he compliments a dish. When he does it two to three times, I know it was a winner. I really liked this one too. The peas were nice and crunchy still. So good.

There's noodles under there somewhere.

I would make it again for sure. I think I'm getting addicted to that teriyaki sauce. It's like soy sauce only AMAZING. Oh well, there are worse things to be addicted to. :3 *hides liquor bottle*

That was a JOKE by the way.
