Chicken Stir-Fry with Spaghettini

This is what I'm serving for dinner tonight with fruit salad for desert. It's one of our favourite stir-fry dishes. I was given a nice supply of snow peas from a friend's garden so this, among other stir-fry dishes seems a good way to use them up. :)


3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp (approx) vegetable oil
2 large carrots, julienned
1 small onion,chopped
2 tbsp minced gingerroot
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic,minced
2 cups snow peas,trimmed
2 tbsp dry sherry
3 tbsp oyster sauce
1/2 tsp sesame oil
Pinch hot pepper flakes
3/4 lb spaghettini
Chopped fresh coriander ( optional)


Slice chicken into strips 1-1/2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. In skillet or wok, heat oil over high heat; saute' chicken, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes or until browned. Transfer to plate; set aside.

Add carrots, onion and ginger to skillet; stir-fry, adding more oil if necessary, for 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic; stir-fry for 1 minute.

Return chicken to skillet along with snow peas and sherry cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Combine oyster sauce, sesame oil and hot pepper flakes; stir into skillet.

Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling water, cook spaghettini until tender but firm; drain well and arrange on warmed plates. Top with chicken mixture; garnish with coriander ( if using). Makes 4 servings.

Your recipe sounds intriguing to me. What's spaghettini? Is that an Asian noodle or a small spaghetti noodle?

Hi Greg -- I like your avatar, BTW. Spaghettini are thinner strands than regular spaghetti noodles. They cook quickly and are similarly great with any type of sauce. I actually prefer them. HTH :)
 
That's pretty good, except I'm not familiar with spaghettini. I know what spaghetti is, is it like that?
 
This recipe sounds good workerbee :)) I might try this, this coming weekend.
 
Thanks. I like the simple and minimal. In case you're wondering, it's the Flubber font with a little textwarp in Photoshop and a transparent background.

I'll take a look for spaghettini next time I'm shopping.

Thank you so much, Greg. I'm a bit of a font fanatic, myself. I can't resist an appealing font. Here's one for you http://fontdiner.com/main.html

I hope you'll enjoy spaghettini -- it is great with a variety of sauces.
 
I'm still waiting for somebody to tell me what spaghettini is.
 
I wonder if this would taste good with spaghetti squash in place of the spaghettini?
