1 tsp. minced fresh ginger
12 oz. chicken (1 inch cubes)
3 tbsp. lime juice
1/3 c. plus 1 tbsp. peanut oil
2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 tsp. dried red pepper flakes
1 tsp. sesame seeds (toasted 10 seconds in hot skillet)
1 head broccoli
2 carrots
6 oz. sugar snow peas
12 oz. spiral or fettuccine
1 tsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. salt

Combine chicken, 1 tablespoon each of lime juice, peanut oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger root and red pepper flakes. Marinate covered at least an hour in refrigerator. Best if left overnight.
