Look for chile paste with garlic on the Asian aisle of large supermarkets.
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Keep warm.
Step 2
Combine sugar and next 4 ingredients (through ginger) in a small bowl. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add oil to pan. Add carrots and pepper to pan; sauté 2 minutes. Add chicken and peas to pan; sauté 1 minute. Transfer chicken mixture to a large bowl; stir in salt.
Step 3
Return pan to heat. Add soy sauce mixture to pan; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 1 1/2 minutes), stirring constantly. Arrange about 1/2 cup rice on each of 4 plates; top each serving with about 1 1/4 cups chicken mixture. Drizzle 1 tablespoon sauce over each serving; sprinkle each serving with about 4 teaspoons peanuts.

Quick and delicious stir fry. I used frozen grilled chicken breast strips and stir fried them first, then proceeded with recipe. As other reviewers, I also heated the sauce leaving the chicken & veg. in the pan. Served over brown rice. Will be making this again.

Definitely on my weekday dinner menu. Will make again - easy and delicious.
JennySmith's Review
Spicy! (And tasty!) We liked this dish and we will likely do it again...easy enough to do on a weeknight. I stayed mostly with the dish, except I did not use cooking spray--I mixed the sesame oil with a little canola oil. In retrospect, using a little more sesame oil probably wouldn't have been that bad for us and a little tastier. I also sauteed raw chicken, instead of cooked chicken. We served with white sticky rice, and I put a little more rice in mine to lessen the heat. My best trick to the dish was having everything pre-measured & cut - that is the trick to a good stir fry!

Easy/quick. Made to recipe except used raw chicken breast, cut into thin strips, sautéed a couple minutes before adding carrots and red pepper. Rather than drizzling the servings, added the reduced sauce to the chicken mixture and tossed to coat all. Probably not as pretty but still a very attractive presentation. Recommend this.
Worth the little bit of work
