Chicken, Walnut

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 pound chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup rice wine
  • 5 green onions
  • 1 piece ginger (3/4 inch)
  • 2/3 cup walnuts
  • 1/4 cup veggie oil
  • 3-4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Cut chicken breast into 3/4 inch cubes. Stir cornstarch into 2 tablespoons of the rice wine and mix well with chicken cubes.

Remove root ends and dark green or wilted parts from green onions, and rinse rest; cut into 3/4 inch lengths. Peel ginger, slice thinly, and then slice into matchsticks. Break walnuts into small pieces or chop coarsely.

Heat oil in a wok or pan, add walnuts, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until golden. Remove and set aside.

Add chicken to the pan and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add onions and ginger and stir-fry for another minute. Combine remaining rice wine, soy sauce, and about 1/3 cup water and add to chicken along with walnuts. Stir-fry for another minute, make sure chicken is cooked through, and serve. Great with hot cooked rice.
