Preparation Time: 15 Minutes,
Cooking Time: 15 Minutes,
Total Time: 30 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 packet of Zorabian Chicken Mince (450g)
• 1 tablespoon peanut oil
• 1/2 onion, finely diced
• 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 cup red or green pepper, finely diced
• 8 ounces water chestnuts, drained & finely diced
• For the Sauce:
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 teaspoons sweet chili sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger

Cooking Instructions:

1. Mix the sauce ingredients thoroughly with a whisk. It might be necessary to microwave the mixture for 30 to 60 seconds to melt the tougher peanut butter and make sure everything is thoroughly combined.
2. In a skillet, heat two tablespoons of peanut oil. Add minced garlic, onion, and chicken mince once heated.
3. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and the onions are transparent.
4. When the peppers are starting to go tender, add the water chestnuts and peppers and simmer for about five minutes.
5. Once the chicken and vegetables are well covered and heated through, add the sauce and simmer over low heat.
6. Serve over rice or noodles, on lettuce leaves, or over your favorite Asian salad!
