Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Chop chicken, walnuts, bell peppers, green onions and ginger. I sometimes do this in the morning (or the night before), and put the components in the refrigerator, in covered containers.
  2. If you chop ahead of time, store chicken on its own, store onions and peppers together, store walnuts on their own, and store ginger on its own. If you chop ahead of time, take all items out of fridge at least two hours before final cooking.
  3. For sauce, put cornstarch into bowl. Stir in soy sauce. Stir in Chinese cooking wine (or substitutes), ginger, chilli and sugar. Don't add water yet. Set aside.
  4. Do all cooking in a wok if you can.
  5. Saute bell peppers and onions in two tablespoons oil for two minutes. Stir frequently. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  6. Saute walnuts in same pan for one minute (don't add more oil yet). Stir frequently. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  7. Saute half the chicken pieces in same pan until cooked (first add two tablespoons of oil). Stir frequently. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  8. Saute other half of chicken pieces until cooked (probably don't add more oil). Stir frequently.
  9. Add first set of chicken pieces to second set of pieces.
  10. When chicken is hot, add soy sauce mixture.
  11. Pour water into pan used for soy sauce mixture. Swirl in pan and add to chicken.
  12. Stir well.
  13. When mixture thickens (just a bit) add vegetables.
  14. Stir thoroughly and warm through. Might take a minute, covered.
  15. Serve over rice.
