Marinade:
1. Put all of the ingredients into a food processor and process until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

3. Once the chicken is almost cooked, make the sauce and then add all of the above ingredients, except the bean sprouts, and simmer covered, just until the veggies are tender crisp.
