Add diced peppers and bamboo shoots; stir-fry to soften peppers (about 2 minutes). Return chicken. Sprinkle with soy sauce, sugar and salt. Then stir-fry to cook through and blend flavors (2 to 3 minutes). Serve at once. VARIATIONS: Omit the chili peppers and add 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco Sauce with the seasonings in step 5. In step 1, omit the egg white and add 1/2 teaspoon salt to the cornstarch mixture. Omit the salt in step 5. After step 4, add 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, and stir-fry vegetables 1 minute more. Then return chicken as in step 5, but omit the soy sauce and seasonings. From <The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook>, ISBN 0-517-65870-4.
