Almond Chicken - tender and juicy chicken stir-fry with almonds, peas and carrots in Chinese brown sauce. So good and much better than takeout.

Ingredients
- 12 oz (350g) chicken breast skinless and boneless
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1- inch (2.5cm) ginger peeled and sliced into pieces
- 1 cup sugar snap peas or snow peas

- 1/4 cup almonds sliced

- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
