1 lb Chicken breasts
-boneless, skinless,
- cut into 1" pieces
3 tb Soy sauce
1 tb Cornstarch
1 Egg white -- beaten frothy
1 c Vegetable oil
3 Dried hot chili peppers

2 Garlic cloves -- chopped fine
1 1" piece gingerroot -- peeled
-and finely chopped
1 tb White wine vinegar
1 tb White wine
1 t Cornstarch
1 tb Brown sugar
1 t Sesame oil
1/4 ts Salt

In a glass bowl, place chicken pieces. Combine 1 tbls. soy sauce and 1 tbls.
cornstarch. Blend in beaten egg white. Pour over chicken and toss to coat
well. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour. In a small bowl, combine
remaining soy sauce, vinegar, white wine, and 1 tsp. cornstarch; mix until
smooth. Stir in sugar, sesame oil and salt. In a wok heat oil. Deep-fry
chicken, a few pieces at a time, about 1 minute, or until golden brown.
Remove and drain on paper towel. Pour all but 2 tbls. oil out of wok. To the
wok, add chili peppers, garlic and ginger; stir-fry 1 minute. Pour sauce
mixture into wok and cook, stirring, about 1 minute, until thickened. Return
chicken pieces to wok. Mix well and serve immediately. I like to serve this
with rice and Sauteed Snow Peas and Red Peppers. The chicken is spicy hot
with the dried chili peppers, so adjust to your taste. Enjoy! Posted by
