1 teaspoon White wine
One half teaspoon Sugar
One fourth teaspoon Salt
1 One half teaspoon Oyster sauce
One half teaspoon Light soy sauce
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
Pinch freshly ground white
pepper
One half pound Chicken breasts, strips
SAUCE:
One half teaspoon Sugar
2 teaspoon Oyster sauce
1 teaspoon Light soy sauce
One half teaspoon Sesame oil
2 teaspoon Cornstarch
1 pn White pepper
5 tablespoon Chicken stock
3 One half tablespoon Peanut oil
1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
One fourth teaspoon Salt
One fourth pound Mushrooms, cut or sliced up
6 ounce Snow peas, cut or sliced up
One fourth cup Bamboo shoots, cut or sliced up
4 Water chestnuts, cut or sliced up
1 Clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon White wine

1. MAKE THE MARINADE: Place the grated ginger in a small strainer set
over a medium bowl. Press hard with the back of a spoon to extract 1
teaspoon of juice; discard the ginger pulp. Stir in the remaining marinade
ingredients. Add the chicken and toss to coat well. Cover and set aside to
marinate for 30 minutes. 2. MAKE THE SAUCE: In a large bowl, combine all
the sauce ingredients and reserve. 3. Heat a wok over high heat for 30
seconds. Add 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil and turn the wok to coat with
oil. When a wisp of white smoke appears, add the ginger and salt. Stir,
using a large metal spatula, for 10 seconds. Add the mushrooms and stir fry
for 10 seconds. Add the snow peas, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts;
sprinkle with a little water and stir fry for 2 minutes. Transfer the
vegetables to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the wok with paper towels. 4.
Heat the wok over high heat for 20 seconds and add the remaining 1 1/2
tablespoons peanut oil. Turn the wok to coat with oil. When a wisp of
white smoke appears, add the garlic. When it begins to brown, add the
chicken with the marinade. Spread the chicken out in a single layer and
cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over and cook for 1
more minute. Drizzle the wine down the inside rim of the wok and stir it
into the chicken. Continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through,
about 1 minute longer. 5. Add the reserved vegetables and stir fry for 2
minutes. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Stir the sauce to
combine and pour it into the well. Mix all the ingredients together, bring
the sauce to a boil and cook until thickened, about 30 seconds. Transfer to
a warm platter and serve immediately.
