Chicken with Green Peppers

Recipe

Ingredients

Preparation

Remove all bone from chicken, cut into 1" cubes. Soak with marinating mixture for at least 1/2 hour.

Remove seeds and stems from green peppers, cut into 1" squares.

Heat 3 cups oil to boiling point, fry chicken for 1/2 minute until done, remove chicken from pan and drain oil.

Using 2 Tbs oil fry garlic until fragrant, then add peppers, stir fry a few seconds, add remaining vegetables, stir fry a few more seconds until hot. Add the chicken and seasoning sauce, stir until it thickens. Serve immediately.

Notes:

Yes, we use hot peppers as a vegetable, rather than a condiment. Green Bell peppers will do if you don't like hot food.

Attribution

This is mostly from Pei Mei's Chinese Cook Book Volume I. The original recipe specified green and red bell peppers for the vegetative matter; we didn't have any tonight, and like our food much hotter than that, anyway. The quantities might be a bit off as given, I wasn't measuring except very roughly.
