INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Recipe called for "1-1/4 to 1-1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken
breasts".
Marinate chicken breasts 30 minutes in salt, pepper, cornstarch,
sherry & egg. Heat wok hot & dry. Add oil. When it's just beginning
to smoke, add chicken, green pepper & water chestnuts, stirring 1-2
minutes. Drain through colander or sieve, reserving 2-3 tbs. oil.
Return the reserved oil to wok & add Imperial Sauce & hoisin sauce.
Cook 1-2 minutes or until thickened slightly. Add nuts, chicken &
vegetables, stirring everything together until well coated with
sauce. Serve.
Note: Hoisin sauce is pre-packaged, found in Chinese specialty
stores. Made from soybeans, flour, sugar, garlic & chili peppers, it
is reddish-brown in color & is creamy & sweet. If it's too thick to
spread, thin with some sesame oil.
