2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 1/4" strips

Preparation

Step 1

In electric wok set on medium-high, pour in oil to depth of 1"; heat until shimmering. In bowl, whisk egg whites and cornstarch. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add to egg mixture; stir to coat. Working in 4 batches, add chicken to oil a few pieces at a time. Fry, turning pieces occasionally, about 4 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.

Carefully transfer hot oil to large heat-safe bowl. Return 1 Tbs. oil to wok; heat on high. Stir-fry snow peas and bell pepper about 4 minutes. Return chicken to wok. Add stir-fry sauce; toss to combine, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice.
