I recently decided to finally start utilizing some of my cookbooks, and after doing an extensive shop to stock my cupboards with the necessities, I came across this little number which was not only healthy, but sooooo good!
HAD to share with everyone!
It's using English measurements, so apologies to the Americans in advance!

2 tbsp vegetable or groundnut oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tsp dried chilli flakes
350g/12oz chicken breast, finely sliced
1 tbsp Thai fish sauce (go easy, its a strong flavour!)
2 tbsp peanuts, roasted and roughly chopped
225g/8oz sugar snap peas
3 tbsp chicken stock
1 tbsp light and dark soy sauce
large pinch of sugar
(optional) fresh coriander to garnish (I personally don't like the stuff, it's just as good without!)
boiled or steamed rice to serve.

Heat a wok or large frying pan, add the oil and when hot, carefully swirl the oil around to lightly coat the sides. Add garlic and fry til starting to brown, then add chilli flakes and fry for another couple of seconds.
Add chicken and stir fry til cooked.
Add the following ingredients; making sure to stir well after each addition. - fish sauce, peanutes, sugar snap peas, chicken stock, light and dark soy sauces and suger. Give a final stir.
Bring the contents of the wok to the boil, and simmer gently for 3 - 4 minutes or until chicken and veggies are tender.

Serve over rice, and enjoy - even my veggie-phobic other half loved this one!
