    Chinese Walnut Chicken


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
    3 tablespoons cornstarch
    3 tablespoons oil
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    1 pinch sugar
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
    1 cup walnuts, chopped or broken into large pieces
    3/4 cup water, warm
    1/2 cup soy sauce

    Recipe



    Make sure to start your rice before starting the Walnut Chicken!
    Cut chicken into half-inch pieces.
    Mix 3 T cornstarch, 2 T of the oil and 2 T soy sauce in the bottom of a large bowl (add more soy sauce if needed, until the cornstarch is smooth and semi-liquid).
    Add the sugar, garlic and ginger powder and mix.
    Add the chicken and stir to coat. Put aside.
    Heat 1 T oil in a large frying pan. Fry the walnuts until they are golden brown. It takes a while to get the nuts up to temperature, but then they brown very rapidly.
    Move the walnuts to a separate bowl.
    Put the chicken in the heated frying pan and stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the pieces are separated.
    Add the nuts to the chicken and stir-fry for a couple more minutes.
    Add the warm water and 1/2 C of soy sauce to the pan and stir to make a sauce.
    If more sauce is desired, just add additional water and heat.
    Serve hot with rice.
