by Susannah Blake
Serves 4
Ingredients
• 1 tbsp. mirin or sherry
• 1 tbsp. soy sauce
• 2 tbsp. sunflower oil
• 2 shallots, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 tsp. grated fresh gingerroot
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cups sugar snap peas
• 4 carrots, cut into batons
• handful basil leaves, torn
• freshly ground black pepper
• noodles or rice, to serve
Directions
Combine the mirin or sherry and soy sauce.
Heat the oil in a wok and stir-fry the shallots, garlic, and ginger about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry 1 minute, then add the chicken and stir-fry a further 1 minute. Add the broccoli, sugar snap peas, and carrots, drizzle the soy sauce mixture over and stir-fry 2 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
Toss in the basil, season with black pepper, and serve immediately with noodles or rice.
