me too..  WHo wanted thai peanut recipes?? This one is called Thai peanut chicken. THAI PEANUT CHICKEN "This is a very tasty Asian-inspired dish made with chicken and broccoli in a spicy peanut sauce. If you like it mild, use less cayenne, like it spicy, use more. If you're salt conscious, use low sodium soy sauce." 2 cups uncooked white rice 4 cups water 3 Tbsp soy sauce 2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter 2 tsp white wine vinegar 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 3 Tbsp olive oil 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into thin strips 3 Tbsp chopped garlic 1 1/2 Tbsp chopped Fresh ginger root 3/4 cup chopped green onions 2 1/2 cups broccoli florets 1/3 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts Combine the rice and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, peanut butter, vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Set aside. Heat oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add chicken, garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring constantly, until chicken is golden on the outside, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and add green onion, broccoli, peanuts, and the peanut butter mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until broccoli is tender, and chicken is cooked through. Serve over rice.  Here is another favorite... PANDA EXPRESS ORANGE FLAVORED CHICKENSauce: 1 1/2 cups water 2 Tbsp orange juice 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/3 cup rice vinegar 2 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce 1/4 cup plus 1 tsp lemon juice 1 tsp minced water chestnuts 1/2 tsp minced fresh ginger 1/4 tsp minced garlic 1 rounded tsp chopped green onion 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes 5 tsp corn starch 2 tsp arrowroot Chicken: 4 chicken breast fillets 1 cup ice water 1 egg 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1 1/2 cups unsifted cake flour 2-4 cups vegetable oil Combine all of the sauce ingredients -- except the cornstarch and arrowroot -- in a small saucepan over high heat. Stir often while bringing mixture to a boil. When sauce reaches a boil, remove it from heat and allow it to cool a bit, uncovered. Slice chicken breasts into bite-size chunks. Remove exactly 1 cup of the marinade from the pan and pour it over the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or other container which allows the chicken to be completely covered with the marinade. Chicken should marinate for at least a couple hours. Cover remaining sauce and leave it to cool until the chicken is ready. When chicken has marinated, preheat 2-inches of vegetable oil in a wok or skillet to 350°. Combine cornstarch with arrowroot in a small bowl, then add 3 tablespoons of water. Stir until cornstarch and arrowroot have dissolved. Pour this mixture into the sauce and set the pan over high heat. When sauce begins to bubble and thickens cover and remove from heat. Beat together the ice water and egg in a medium bowl. Add baking soda and salt. Add 3/4 cup of the flour and stir with a fork just until the flour in blended into the mixture. The batter should still be lumpy. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of flour on top of the batter and mix with only one or two strokes. Most of this flour will still floating on top of the mixture. Put the remaining flour (1/2 cup) into a medium bowl. Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour, then into the batter. Let some of the batter drip off and then slide the chicken into the oil. Fry up to 1/2 of the chicken pieces at a time for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip the chicken over halfway through the cooking time. Remove the chicken to a rack or paper towels to drain. As the chicken cooks, reheat the sauce left covered on the stove. Stir occasionally. When all of the chicken is done, pour it into a large bowl, and cover with the thickened sauce. Stir gently until all of the pieces are well coated. Serves four.
