Method
- Slice the stalk ends from the green chillies. Carefully cut away the seeds and pith from inside the chilli without cutting the green part( rolling the chillies between your fingers will help release some of the seeds); discard the seeds and pith. Thinly slice the chillies, diagonally.
- Heat both the oils in a wok and add the chillies, garlic, ginger and almonds. Stir-fry for 30 seconds – 1 min until just turning golden. Remove with a draining spoon and set aside.
- Add the chicken and peppers to the pan and stir-fry for 4 minutes or until chicken is just golden. Add the mushrooms and mangetout and return the chillies, garlic, ginger and almonds to the pan. Continue stir-frying for a further 2 minutes . Season and add stir-fry sauce (if using). Heat through until sauce is bubbling and serve straight away garnished with fresh basil.
Top Tip for making Chicken stir-fry
Shitake mushrooms are available fresh and dried from some major supermarkets. The dried variety will need to be soaked prior to using (check packaging for instructions). Alternatively use chestnut mushrooms which are readily available.
