Steps:
- 1. Gather all your ingredients and prep. everything ahead of time. Once you start cooking it will go quick and easy that way.
- 2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the oils over medium-high heat
- 3. Liberally season chicken with the Chinese five spice.
- 4. In a small bowl, combine broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Chinese hot mustard, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside. * Note. I often use dried shiitake mushrooms for this dish. when I do I save the water I use to reconstitute them and then add a chicken bouillon cube to it and this is what I use for the broth.
- 5. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
- 6. Add the snow peas, mushrooms, chilies, carrots ,bell pepper, and onion and cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the water chestnuts.
- 7. Add the sauce mixture to the skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium to medium-low, and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, or until sauce thickens.
- 8. * Note: This dish goes great over hot cooked rice or rice noodles.
