Peanut Chicken Stir Fry

Based on a recipe from a shockingly good book “Betty Crocker’s New Cookbook.” One of the best presents I’ve ever gotten, thanks to my not-so-little youngest brother.
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp corn starch
2 tbsps soy sauce
1 tbsp white vinegar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb chicken, cut into small pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, grated
1 can baby corn
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 can straw mushrooms
1/2 cup peanuts (use more soy if peanuts are unsalted)
a few green onions, chopped
Mix the sauce: chicken broth, corn starch, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, and cayenne.
Heat wok or skillet over high heat. Then add oil (it will spread easily after heating).
Add chicken, garlic, and ginger and stir fry for 5 minutes.
Add baby corn and red bell pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Add the sauce mixture and stir for a minute or two until the sauce thickens.
Stir in peanuts and top with green onions.
