3 x boneless chicken breasts - cut into 1 inch squares
2 tbsp oil
5 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1 inch ginger finely chopped
3 spring onions finely chopped
zest of 1 orange
1/2 cup green beans cut into pieces (or sugar snap peas whole)
1 red pepper chopped up into 1 inch pieces
1 cup peeled and finely chopped cucumbers
2 drops sesame oil
For the sauce:
3/4 glass orange juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp soya sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar (or whatever white vinegar you have)
3 tbsp mirin (if you don't have it use grape juice, sherry or even white wine)
1 tsp cornstarch mixed in 1/4 cup water
2 dried red chillies or 1 fresh jalapeno pepper
Method:
- Heat the pan and add the oil to it. When the oil is hot add the chicken pieces and cook on HIGH until golden brown on both sides- about 3-6 minutes.
- Add the spring onions and saute for 1 minute
- Add the ginger, garlic, and orange zest and saute for 1 minute
- Add the red peppers and beans and saute for 2 -3 minutes.
- Mix all the ingredients of the sauce except the cornstarch into a glass.
- Add the sauce mixture to the chicken and cook on HIGH until the sauce starts to bubble and boil. Allow to boil for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly.
- Add the cornstarch mixture and stir - the sauce will start to thicken immediately.
- When the sauce is as thick as you want it to be, add the chopped cucumbers.
- Add the sesame oil and give it a good stir.
- Serve immediately with rice.

Yonit, Laila, Dragonfly, Michael and all the other readers.
I want to do an experiment. Let's try to see if between us we can come to an agreement on the Middle East - If 5-10 civilized people who are obviously well educated can come to an agreement then maybe there is hope for a non-violent way of resolving the issue.
I'm going to state my stand: Pro Palestinian anti-Hamas anti-violence of any kind.
My demands:
1) Israel goes back to the 1948 borders.
2) All Jews who live in the areas that were illegally occupied between 1948 and today have the choice of leaving or becoming part of the Palestinian state. They relinquish their Israeli passports and become Palestinian citizens.
3) All Arab countries accept Israel as a state and open diplomatic missions there
4) Israel totally abandons it's nuclear weapons and it's programme of WMD. Palestine and it's neighbors including Iran are not allowed to pursue nuclear weapons. Teh UN ensures that the Missle East is weapon free.
5) The Palestinian state stops all rockets from being launched.
6) Palestinians have complete authority over their land, sea and air borders.
7) Palestinian refugees have the right to return to land (Israel is now at the 1948 borders) and where to house them is the problem of the new state of Palestine.
8) US, Israel and all Western countries accept Palestine as a soverign state whose capital is Jerusalem.
Ok - let's try to start a discussion towards something concrete here.
Where do the others stand on this and what can we do to bring this area closer to peace?
Dear Chai, I have a few technical questions for you about your demands.
1. What about 1967? What are your demands?
2. What is according to you is illegall occupation? West Bank was occupied from Jordan in 1967, Jordan occupied it in 1948 (after its independence ,illegally?), before 1948 it was under British Mandate. Moreover, why wouldn’t they hold dual passports?
3. Diplomatic missions is ok, it a good thing. But the problem is the anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish propaganda from the arab world, what will happen with that?
4. Since most of the known knowledge is speculations and is under debate (as an Israel I don’t know for sure if we have nuclear weapons or not), and no official declarations were made, no one knows who has nuclear or doesn’t. Second, how will UN ensure that Middle East will be weapon free, if it can't ensure United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701? Which is much easier to ensure than what you said. How can you think its possible to imply that?
Let me remind you resolution 1701 :
• Full cessation of hostilities – DONE
• Israel to withdraw all of its forces from Lebanon in parallel with Lebanese and UNIFIL soldiers deploying throughout the South – DONE
• Hezbollah to be disarmed – NOT IMPLIED
• Full control of Lebanon by the government of Lebanon – ?
• No paramilitary forces, including (and implying) Hezbollah, will be south of the Litani River – NOT IMPLIED
• The need to address urgently the unconditional release of the abducted Israeli soldiers, that have given rise to the current crisis. – NOT IMPLIED
Moreover, UNIFIL didn't prevent rockets that were fired from Lebanon during "Cast Led" operation in January. Rockets to the north of Israel were fired by unknown forces of terror.
5. Rockets stopped – great. What about suicide bombings? Armed resistance of Palestinian terrorists? What about the propaganda?
6. Agreed
7. Who are the refugees? Only those who were there on 1948? Or their descendants as well? To what land exactly they can return?
8. Then Israel will not have Jerusalem as their capital?
I don’t have anything to add, most of the terms are find with me. We just want to live in peace and quietness. That’s all.
Michael
