What's for Dinner? Almond Chicken Chow Mein

Greetings! Did you ever get one of those cravings and HAD to make it happen? Well thats what happened tonight. I just had Chow Mein on the Brain! So, you know, you cant fight it and I gave in. Get ready, this recipe looks like its hard, but it is not, quick and easy after you get all the ingredients cut up, the list is long, but its worth it. Here is what you will need to make this recipe: 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast sliced thin or 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp (we thought of that while we were eating!) 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger 3 cloves of chopped garlic 1 onion sliced 1 cup sliced celery 1 cup matchstick carrots 1 cup sliced bok choy (I only used the stems and saved the leaves for later) 1 can water chestnuts sliced and quartered 1 can bamboo shoots 1 can baby corn cut up (mine came that way) 1 cup snow peas ½ cup raw almonds (or cashews would be great too) 1 ½ cups chicken stock ½ cup water 2 tablespoons corn starch 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for browning meat and then veggies) For Garnish: Crispy Chow Mein Noodles Sliced Green Onions Over medium high heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet, add sliced chicken (or shrimp) and cook until done. This will not take long. Set aside. Wipe out your skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add in garlic, ginger and onion, stir for about 30 seconds, add in remaining veggies and stir fry for a few minutes until they are tender crisp. Add in water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, baby corn, almonds, and return chicken to the skillet. Give everything a good toss. Add in chicken stock and bring to a simmer. While waiting for the pan to simmer in a jar or bowl mix ½ cup cold water, soy sauce and corn starch and mix well. It is easy to do this in a jar so you can just put the lid on and shake it. This is your slurry or thickening agent. Add the slurry to the pan and stir constantly until the sauce is clear and no longer cloudy and has thickened up. You may or may not want to add a bit more water or stock depending on how thick or thin you may like your sauce. Give everything a good toss to coat in that lovely saucy sauce and you are ready to serve. I served this over white rice topped with crispy chow mein noodles and sliced green onions. You dont really need anything else, your whole meal is right on your plate! I like extra soy on mine, so do what you like! I hope you try this and I hope you enjoy it. So until next time, See Ya!
