BRAISED CHICKEN WITH GINGER AND CHESTNUTS
Gish Jen, the author of "Mona in the Promised Land," shared this recipe with The Times in the late 1990s. Growing up in Scarsdale, N.Y., she was "suspicious" of her mother's cooking. "I mean, I never ate the kind of Chinese food they serve in restaurants." But she came to love her mother's family-style Shanghai cooking. This dish, Peace and Safety In All Seasons, is part of her family's traditional Chinese New Year feast along with Step-by-Step Higher (rice and cabbage), Yearly Surplus (fried sea bass) and High Achievement (pork and hard-boiled eggs). To derive the maximum benefit from the feast, the author said, you have to eat absolutely everything - the sweet and the sour.

Steps:
- If using dried chestnuts, soften for 4 hours in warm water and then simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, cool and set aside. If using frozen, blanch for 3 minutes, drain, cool and set aside.
- In a wok or heavy-bottomed casserole, warm the oil over high heat. When sizzling, add the ginger and scallions and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken and stir to make sure that each piece is cooked until consistently golden.
- Add the soy sauce, the sherry, the sugar, and the salt and toss chicken pieces to coat evenly, for 2 minutes. Add the water, the star anise and the softened chestnuts. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste, adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper and serve immediately.

CHICKEN BRAISED WITH GINGER AND STAR ANISE
My family loves this quick, easy chicken recipe. Don't expect a thick, clingy sauce-it's not-but it goes really well over steamed rice, served in deep bowls.

GINGER-SCALLION CHICKEN
In this easy chicken stir-fry, adapted from Lan Hing Riggin, a home cook from Virginia who grew up cooking with her family in Hong Kong, slivers of ginger and scallions turn golden, adding their sweetness and pungency to the oil. A dash of soy sauce provides saltiness and depth, while a full cup of cilantro leaves, used as garnish, makes the dish a bit lighter and fresher. Fire seekers can add a sliced chile or two along with the ginger.

Steps:
- Cut the scallions in quarters lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. You should end up with thin blades of scallions. Separate out the dark green tops from the pale green and white parts. (You don't have to be very thorough; some mixing of colors is fine.)
- Heat oil in a wok or 12-inch skillet over very high heat. When it's shimmering but not smoking, stir in chicken and salt. Cook, stirring almost constantly, until chicken is barely cooked and no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chicken onto a serving plate, leaving the oil in the pan. Immediately scatter cilantro and scallion greens (not whites) over hot chicken.
- Return wok to medium-high heat. Make sure there are at least 2 tablespoons oil in the wok. If not, add more oil. Stir in ginger and cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in scallion whites, soy sauce and sugar, and cook for another 30 seconds (if using a skillet, remove from heat). Immediately spoon the contents of the pan evenly over chicken and herbs. Serve right away.
