Aunt Candy's Stir Fried Chicken with Cashews

Years ago I took a Chinese cooking class through community ed. I came away with about 3 keeper recipes. This is one of 'em.

Take about 1 pound whole chicken breast, de-boned
Cut the meat into 1/2 inch squares.
Toss the chicken with 1 teaspoon rice wine, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 egg white (or 1 Tablespoon water) and 2 teaspoon cornstarch. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Take:
Bunch of stalks green onions (1/2 inch lengths and use the whole onion)
Some slices of ginger root (3/8 inch squares)
1/2 Tablespoon rice wine
1 green pepper - sliced and cut up

Mix these altogether and stir fry. Then take your chicken and in a different pan fry it until chicken turns white color. Then dump the vegetable mixture into the chicken and continue to stir fry for a little while. Then remove from stove and pour into serving dish. Take a bag of cashews about a 6-8 ounce bag and dump on top of chicken. Serves 6. Serve over rice.
