Carrot, Snow Pea & Chicken Stir-Fry
Carrot-Ginger Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- Sauce
- ¼ cup lime juice
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ½ cup finely chopped cilantro
- 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- Stir-Fry
- 3 Tbsp peanut oil or canola oil, divided
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 cups ½- to 1-inch carrot slices
- 1 bunch scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups snow peas, trimmed
Instructions
- To prepare sauce: Combine lime juice, orange juice, cilantro, olive oil, cornstarch, salt, cumin, oregano and pepper in a small bowl. Place near the stove.
- To prepare stir-fry: Heat a 14-inch flat-bottom carbon-steel wok over high heat. (You'll know it's hot enough when a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact.) Add 1 Tbsp oil and swirl to coat.
- Add chicken and stir-fry until just cooked, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate.
- Swirl in another 1 Tbsp oil; add carrots and scallions. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Swirl in the remaining 1 Tbsp oil; add garlic and snow peas. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, 2 to 4 minutes more.
- Return the chicken to the wok. Add the reserved sauce and cook, gently stirring, until well coated and hot, 1 to 2 minutes.
