Cashew Chicken Stir-fry

by Cindy A. Littlefield
An April Fools' recipe from FamilyFun magazine
stir fry surprise This nutty mix of veggie impostors is guaranteed to cause a stir!

INGREDIENTS:
Fruit Roll-Ups, 2 to 3 green rolls and 1 red roll
1 1/2 teaspoons hulled sunflower seeds
1 1/2 cups dried apple rings
3/4 cup dried pineapple chunks
1/2 cup cashews

First, make a bunch of pea pods. For each one, cut a 2 1/4-inch square from a green fruit roll.

Arrange five or six sunflower seeds (for peas) on the strip in a vertical row, just off center. Fold the strip in half over the seeds and press the edges together to seal them. Use a butter knife or kitchen scissors to trim the sealed edges into a rounded pod shape.

Next, cut the red fruit roll into thin pepper strips and the apple rings into bite-size chicken pieces.

For the full effect, combine the pea pods, pepper strips, chicken pieces, pineapple chunks, and cashews in a frying pan. Or serve the mix on plates with chopsticks. Makes three cups.
