Sichuan-Style Chicken with Peanuts

From EatingWell: February/March 2005, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)

The piquant Sichuan Sauce (which doubles easily) works well with almost any stir-fry but particularly enhances dishes with meat, fish and poultry. When stir-frying chicken, always spread the pieces in the wok and let them cook undisturbed for 1 minute before stirring. This allows the chicken to sear and prevents sticking. To smash the ginger, use the side of a cleaver or chef's knife.

Recommends this recipe

good and fast dish, made some changes though

I added about 4 times as much garlic and a bit more soy sauce. And I swapped the snap peas for steamed broccoli and carrot sticks.
All in all a good recipe, would consider making it again.

Pros: easy to add more veggies

Delicious -- I doubled the sauce (had more chicken and snap peas than the recipe called for) and it turned out beautifully. Everyone loved it, even my step-mom who was "afraid" of Chinese food so had never tried it. My boyfriend said that the leftovers were even better the next day!

I made this last night for my family and they LOVED it. It is very kid friendly meal which make things easyer for me. The only thing i would do different is make extra sauce on the side for the kids to dip in, but as for me it was perfect and delicous!
