Cut 1-1/2 Lb of chicken breast into 1/2" cubes, this is best done while the breast is partially frozen. In a 1 cup measuring cup add: 1 tsp Ginger, 1 tsp Sugar, 1 Tbsp corn Starch. Blend in (I use a small whisk or fork) 3 Tbsp Water, 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce (Substitute 2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar and 1 Tbsp Molasses for low-sodium) and 1/3 cup of dry sherry. Set aside
Add 1/4 cup of oil to a skillet or wok. Add 1 cup Almonds and cook for 3 minutes to "toast". Add chicken and cook until "white" (about 5-7 minutes is all it takes). Pour in sherry mixture; cook until sauce thickens. Add Pea Pods. Stir until Fresh pods are just bright green or frozen are glazed. Serve immediately. Makes 6 servings
