I hope that this is IBS-friendly. It's my absolute favorite Chinese food dish, and I haven't had it in ages.
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced) 1/2 c soy sauce 2T dry sherry 2t sesamie oil 2T cornstarch 2t crushed red peppers 4-6 whole red peppers 4T for frying (I would use Pam spray) 4 bunches green onions
Combine first seven ingredients. Marinate chicken 30 minutes. Stir fry onions in hot oil in wok. Remove onions. Stir fry chicken and re-add onions. Remember stir frying is done at highest heat for a very short time. Onions should be just tender, chicken fried until color changes. Serve over hot rice.

This sounds great! You could also just reduce the oil for frying instead of using Pam - I usually stir fry in 1 T of oil and it's plenty. With this chicken served over rice it should be nice and safe.

Made it, tried it, loved it! It didn't taste like my favorite Chinese restaurant's version of Mongolian Chicken (it's THE best!) but it was still really good!! And it didn't do any damage that I can feel as of yet!

I diced the red peppers, I sliced the green onions length wise once and crosswise once.
The recipe says that it servs four, but my bf and I finished it off last night.

thanks Jules, going to give it a try. Might try apple juice instead of sherry though.

I'm going to make this dish this wkend and would prefer to use apple juice. How much did you use, how did it turn out and most importantly, how did it taste? Thanks.

I didn't have sherry when I made the dish, but substituted some saki (rice wine). It tasted fine. I found this on a Google search:
"When making substitutions for alcohols, it is important to keep the volume of liquid in the recipe the same as originally called for. Depending on the recipe, apple juice or chicken broth often makes a good substitution for wine."
and this:
"1/2 cup fruit juice can be substituted for 1/2 cup wine in desserts. 1/2 cup chicken broth can be substituted for 1/2 cup wine in savory recipes."
HTH! It was really yummy when I made it.
