INSTRUCTIONS

Mix chicken, sherry, soy, and salt. Let sit for at least 30 min. Mix
in beaten egg. Combine cornstarch and flour (this makes a coating that
approximates water chestnut flour). Dredge chicken cubes in flour,
shaking off excess. Let rest for a few minutes. Deep fry in hot oil
(360) for 2 (for white meat) to 3 (for dark meat) min. Drain on paper
towels and keep warm.  Saute ginger and garlic in oil over high heat.
Add rest of sauce  ingredients. Add peppers and stir-cook for 1 min.
Add pineapple and  lychee/orange. Raise heat to high high. Mix
cornstarch with water and  mix in. Taste now for seasoning - if it
needs a little sugar,  vinegar, or salt, add that now. When sauce
thickens and turns glossy,  it is ready.  MEANWHILE, reheat the kettle
of oil to high (375) and refry the  chicken for 2 min or until it's
golden and crispy on the outside.  Add chicken to sauce and vegetables,
toss, and serve with white rice.  Recipes posted to FIDO COOKING echo
