Preparation

Combine milk with chicken broth and cornstarch. Stir in hoisin, soy, and Tabasco sauces. Reserve.

Heat oil in a wok or large skillet. Add chicken, garlic, ginger and green onions. Stir fry 1 to 2 min until chicken loses its raw appearance.

Add celery, carrot and red bell pepper. Stir fry 4 to 6 min until tender crisp. Add snow peas. Cook 2 to 4 min longer.

Stir milk mixture. Add to pan. Cook until liquid just reaches the boil and thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Sprinkle with toasted almonds. Serve with rice.

Tips

To toast almonds, spread on a cookie sheet. Bake in a preheat 350 °F (180 °C) oven 4 to 5 min.
