Ingredients

  • 1 pound cappelini or angel hair pasta
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil divided
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (approximately 6)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or to taste
  • 1/4 cup water or reserve pasta cooking water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoons sesame oil omit if allergic
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 pound garlic chives* chop into 1 to 1.5 inch pieces
  • 4 medium carrots peeled and thinly sliced
  • .5 pound snow peas trim ends

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the pasta in a colander.

  2. Heat up a large skillet (12-14 inch) on medium heat, add 1 teaspoon olive oil, and pan fry chicken on both sides until cooked thoroughly, set aside to cool, and chop into bite sized pieces.

  3. Prepare sauce by combining soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, cornstarch, sesame oil (if using), garlic powder, ginger powder, and sugar in a small mixing bowl and set aside.

  4. In the same skillet, add another teaspoon of olive oil and stir fry the sliced carrots for 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic chives and stir fry until the chives are bright green ( 1minute).

  5. Add snow peas, stir fry for 1 minute. Add the chopped chicken back into the pot and stir. Add the cooked pasta into the pot. Stir the cornstarch slurry and pour over the noodles.

  6. Stir to combine the noodles with the stir fry until the sauce thickens or is absorbed by the pasta.

Recipe Notes

*The original recipe uses garlic chives and garlic chive flowers interchangeably which is ok only if the garlic chive flowers are very tender.
