Preparation

Step 1

STIR the water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.

HEAT the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat; add the scallions and ginger. Stir-fry until the scallions are wilted, about 2 minutes; stir in the snow peas. Continue cooking and stirring until the peas are bright green, adding 1
tablespoon of water if the mixture becomes dry.

STIR in the chicken, broth, and water chestnuts; cook, stirring gently, until the snow peas are tender-crisp, 2 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens slightly. Serve at once.
