The following is from The Gourmet Chinese Regional Cookbook; Castle Press,
1982:
Poach the chicken for 20 minutes, allow it to cool and slice into pieces
1/8 x 1 1/2 x 1-inch. String the snow peas. Slice the mushrooms, cabbage
and water chestnuts thinly. Heat a skillet or wok, then add the peanut oil
and salt. Just before the oil begins to smoke, add all the vegetables and
stir-fry for 1/2 minute. Add the water, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Add
the chicken, cornstarch mixture, pepper and sugar. Stir until the sauce is
thickened. Yield: 2-4 servings.
