1     Recipe 5 Spice Broth, reduced to 1 cup

Note:
For shredded chicken and broth see
Asian Poached Chicken recipe
Ingredients:

8      Ounces Snow Peas
4      Ounces Mushrooms, any
2      Cloves Garlic, minced
1      Shallot, minced
1      Tbs. Ginger, minced
1      Tbs. Olive Oil
1      Tbs. Sesame Oil
2      Tbs. Basil, chopped
2      Tbs. Mint, chopped
1      tsp. Red Curry Paste [optional]




I like to use these "Golden Beech Mushrooms" in my Asian dishes.

I am not sure if you can find them everywhere so please feel free to slice up any kind of mushroom that you like.



Chop mint and basil together.

Here is a shot of the red curry paste that I like.



Place 5 spice broth reduction into a sauce pan.

Add the curry paste and bring to a boil.

Mix curry paste into the broth and reserve until needed.

If not using curry paste you can skip this step.


Place a large pan over medium-high heat on the stove.

When pan is hot add olive oil, minced shallots, garlic and ginger.

Cook and stir ingredients for about 15 seconds.



Add mushrooms and snow peas to pan.

Cook and stir for a couple of minutes until snow peas start to soften.

Note:
If you like your snow peas more cooked and less crunchy you can blanch them in boiling water for a few seconds beforehand.



Remove all cooked ingredients from the pan and place them onto a plate.

Add the sesame oil to the pan and place back on the heat.

Add the chicken to the hot oil.

Cook and stir for a couple of minutes.

The chicken should heat up and begin to brown.



Add cooked mushrooms and snow peas back to the pan.

Add chopped mint and basil to the pan.

Add 5 spice reduction to the pan.

Cook and stir all ingredients together for a couple of minutes and serve.
