Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup tamarind paste
1 vanilla bean, split in half
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons light-brown sugar
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 whole skinless, boneless chicken breast (12 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
1 onion, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons
2-inch piece ginger (3/4 ounce), cut into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks, plus more, finely chopped, for garnish
1/2 green chile, finely chopped, plus more thinly sliced for garnish
2 ripe but firm peaches, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
10 ounces baby bok choy, cleaned and stems trimmed
1 scallion, sliced 1/8-inch thick for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the tamarind paste in a small bowl, add 1/2 cup boiling water. Let stand 20 minutes. Strain into a bowl through fine sieve, pressing the moisture from the paste. Discard contents of sieve. Scrape the vanilla bean into the liquid; add rice-wine vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, and pepper, and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Place the wok over high heat. Add the canola oil, swirling to coat wok. Add the chicken, and cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, ginger, and chile, and cook, stirring constantly, until onion is transparent and chicken is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the reserved tamarind mixture, and let simmer until sauce is reduced and slightly thickened and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Add the peaches, and cook until they are warmed through, about 1 minute more. Transfer chicken and peaches to serving bowls. Clean the wok; add bok choy, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon water. Saute, stirring continuously, until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to serving bowls. Serve garnished with fresh chile slices, scallions, and ginger.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 -3 Thai red chili peppers or 2 -3 serrano chilies
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour or 1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon sesame oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 large carrot, peeled and thinly sliced on the bias
1 cup broccoli floret
1/2 cup snow peas, strings removed
3 peaches, halved, pitted, and sliced, any juices reserved (or mangoes)
soy sauce, if needed
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped scallion
1 tablespoon slivered almonds, toasted, for garnish

Steps:

  • With a sharp knife, cut the Thai chili in half lengthwise.
  • Seed by scraping the inside of each chili half with your knife.
  • Thinly slice the chili (be very careful not to touch your face or eyes while you are working with the chili; as soon as it is sliced, wash your hands and the knife carefully).
  • In a medium Pyrex dish or bowl, combine the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and chili slices.
  • Add the strips of chicken and stir to coat; cover and refrigerate.
  • Sift the flour into a small bowl (if using cornstarch, you don't need to sift).
  • Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet set over high heat.
  • When the oil is hot, add the onions; stir for 1-2 minutes, then add the chicken strips, lifting them out of the marinade with a slotted spoon.
  • Saute quickly just until the chicken begins to brown and then pour in the marinade.
  • Add the carrot slices and broccoli and lower the heat to med-high, covering the pan with a lid to keep liquids from evaporating.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
  • Toss in the snow peas and the peach slices and their juices and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • If there doesn't seem to be much liquid in the pan, add 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce.
  • Stir 3-4 tablespoons of the pan liquid into the reserved flour or cornstarch, mixing well until completely smooth.
  • Add the mixture to the pan, moving the vegetables to the side with a spatula and stirring the sauce with a small wooden spoon to thicken.
  • Toss in the cilantro and scallions, give everything one last good stir to mix, and heat it through.
  • Sprinkle with almonds before serving.

SWEET 'N' SPICY CHICKEN



Sweet 'n' Spicy Chicken image

My husband and three children love this tender, sweet and spicy chicken. Peach preserves add just a touch of sweetness, while taco seasoning and salsa give this dish some kick. This entree can be made even zippier yet by adding more taco seasoning and using spicier salsa. -Sheri White, Higley, Arizona
