    1.25 cups chicken broth

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the chicken broth and the cornstarch; stir until the cornstarch dissolves

Add the carrots and 1/3 cup of the remaining broth; cook 2 minutes, then stir in the snow peas, 1/3 cup of the remaining broth, the soy sauce and sesame oil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the snow peas are tender crisp, about 5 minutes.
