  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or to taste
  • 1/4 cup water or reserve pasta cooking water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 pound garlic chives* chop into 1 to 1.5 inch pieces

  • 1 pound snow peas trim ends

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente, rinse with cold water and drain in a colander.
  2. Heat up a large skillet on medium high 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 garlic chives and sliced carrots until the chives are bright green (3-5 minutes)
  5. Add snow peas, stir fry for 1 minute.
  6. Rinse pasta with water if the strands are stuck together and add to the stir fry.
  7. Stir sauce ingredients and pour over the noodles.
  8. 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.
