    How to Make Creamy Peanut Chicken with Charred Snow Peas

    1. Make Peanut Sauce

    Combine the peanut butter, sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and fish sauce in a bowl. Gradually add water to achieve a smooth, sauce-like consistency.

    2. Cook the Chicken

    Toss chicken pieces with kosher salt. Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes until just cooked through.

    3. Char the Snow Peas

    Set aside the cooked chicken. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil, scallion whites, and snow peas. Cook for 1 minute, then let the snow peas char for 3 minutes.

    4. Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet, pour in the peanut sauce, and toss with the remaining ½ tablespoon of rice vinegar. Serve over white rice, garnished with basil and scallion greens.
