2 Servings
Ingredients:

8oz snow peas, cleaned and halved
4oz (1/2 small container) snow pea or alfalfa sprouts
8oz bean sprouts
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
4 green onions (scallions), thinly sliced
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast (if breasts are thick, either fillet so they are about ¾” thick, or adjust cooking time)
Chinese Five Spice, Cumin, &/or White Pepper
3 Tb soy sauce
3 Tb sesame or peanut oil
½ inch piece fresh ginger, grated or minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp yellow mustard (or Chinese mustard if you like an extra kick of spice)
