I was planning some kind of stir-fry with chicken. The chicken was thawed, and I had 2 bunches of green onions, a few fresh red hot peppers, some broccoli. Ginger, garlic, etc. Half a jar of chicken broth.

DH asked what we were having and I said "Something Chinese. Or Vietnamese. Light, lots of veg, spicy. Maybe a sweet/sour/hot stir fry."

"Do we have nuts? I like kung pao."

"Well, we've got all these veg and they won't keep."

"I really like kung pao."

Ooo kay. If you're interested, kung pao chicken with lots of green onion, fresh chilis as well as dried, broccoli, cashews (I didn't have peanuts) and the sauce slightly brothier than usual is...actually pretty good.
