INSTRUCTIONS
source: Sunset Stir-fry Cookbook
Look for the fruits in the gourmet or specility food section.
In a bowl, beat together egg white and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Add
chicken and stir to coat. Set aside. In another bowl, gradually blend soy
with 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Drain lychees, reserving 6 tablespoons of the
syrup. Add reserved syrup to soy sauce mixture along with vinegar and
sugar. Place a wok or heavy cast iron skillet over high heat, when wok is
hot, add 2 tablespoons of the oil. When oil is hot, add half the chicken
mixture and stir fry until meat is no longer pink in center. About 3
minutes. Remove from wok and set aside. Repeat to cook remaining chicken,
adding remining 2 tablespoons oil. Return all chicken to wok. Blend in
ginger, drained lychees and soy mixture. Stir until sauce boils and
thickens. Garnish with cilantro and kumquats.
