    List of Ingredients




    12 ounces chicken breasts without skin -- boneless

    sweeter taste.

    1/4 cup water
    1/4 cup soy sauce, low sodium
    4 teaspoons cornstarch
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
    5 dashes hot pepper sauce -- I like Tiger Sauce brand
    pepper sauce.
    1 tablespoon cooking oil
    2 teaspoons ginger root -- minced
    2 cloves garlic -- minced
    1 cup green onions -- cut in 1/2" pieces
    1/2 cup peanuts
    2 cups hot cooked rice

    Recipe



    Rinse chicken and pat dry. Cut into 3/4 inch pieces. In a medium bowl,stir together chicken, sherry and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Let stand for 15 minutes. For sauce, in a small bowl, stir together water, soy sauce, 4 teaspoons cornstarch, sugar, vinegar and hot pepper sauce. Set aside.
    Pour cooking oil into a wok or large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Stir-fry garlic and ginger root for 15 seconds. Add chicken mixture; stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until meat is no longer pink inside. Push chicken from center of wok. Stir sauce and add to center of
