ALMOND BONELESS CHICKEN (WOR SU GAI)
This almond boneless chicken recipe, also known as War Su Gai or chicken soo guy was given to me by my Aunt, who many years ago, when I was a child introduced me to Chinese cuisine. This was served in a popular Detroit Chinese restaurant and it was actually the first Chinese food that I ever ate. I loved it then and love it now....

Steps:
- 1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and sherry and marinate for 15 minutes. While chicken is marinating, prepare the sauce. Mix together the cornstarch and water in a small saucepan until smooth. Gradually mix in the chicken broth, mushrooms,soy sauce, butter and boullion granules. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Let boil for 1 minute, and keep warm. To prepare batter: Beat together the cornstarch, flour, baking powder, egg and water until smooth. Coat each piece of chicken with the batter. Heat large skillet or wok and add oil to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat to 375 degrees. Cook coated chicken pieces in oil until they are golden brown, turning once. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain the chicken on a tempura rack if you have one or on a paper towel. Cut the fried chicken in diagonal strips. Reassemble the strips into a chicken breast shape and place on a bed of shredded lettuce. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and green onions. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve.
WARR-SHU-GAI ALMOND BONELESS CHICKEN
Warr Shu Gai or Almond Boneless Chicken, like chop suey, is a Chinese-inspired American dish. So far as I have been able to determine, it originated in Detroit. It was a favorite dish of my childhood there. Every Cantonese restaurant in the area serves it, but I've never been able to find it outside of Michigan. Descriptions of it to Chinese restaurant personnel elsewhere have been met with blank stares.

Steps:
- Thaw the boneless chicken about halfway, then cut into bite-sized chunks (It's easier to cut, when the meat is halfway frozen); place in bowl and let chicken thaw completely.
- Combine the marinade ingredients of the honey, lime juice, ginger root, soy sauce, sherry and garlic, then pour over the chicken and mix thoroughly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
- For the chicken batter, mix all ingredients (flour, cornstarch, baking powder, eggs, water and oil) together. Let stand for 10-15 minutes Then dip your chicken pieces in the batter.
- Fry the battered chicken pieces in pre-heated peanut oil (about 1/2 inch of peanut oil), in a wok set on med-high temp, at about 375 degrees. Do not fry too many pieces all at once, or the chicken will stick together. About six-to-eight pieces at a time, works best.
- Place fried chicken bites in a non-corrosive plastic container with a few layers of paper towels underneath them to absorb the oil. Do NOT cover the fried chicken pieces! If you do, this will make your chicken turn soft, and take away the crispiness.
- Mix all sauce ingredients from above, except the sesame oil, in a bowl. Beat it with a fork until all of the cornstarch has dissolved thoroughly into the mix. Then set aside on the kitchen counter for now.
- Now rinse and dry your wok, and place all vegetables in the wok, one at a time, in the following specific order:.
- First, add the 1 T of sesame oil to the wok and set heat on medium. Now add the pea pods and stir-fry for about three minutes while gently stirring in about half of the sauce. Then add the drained water chestnuts, carrots and sliced bok choy stems and cook two-to-three more minutes. Then add the straw mushrooms while adding in the remaining sauce mixture, and cook another three minutes. (total cook time, 9-10 minutes).
- Reduce your wok heat to low and add fried chicken pieces to top of wok ingredients. Continue to cook in wok another 5 mins, and then you are done. Do NOT cover the wok, in order to keep the chicken and vegetables from becoming too soft or over-cooked.
- You are now done! (Pat yourself on the back.) Serve the dish with steamed rice if desired. Hong Shu Gai Kew is best served with hot tea or a glass of white wine, (In my humble opinion, at least.) Provide a bottle of soy sauce on the table, for those who like the dish or their rice with a kick of extra soy flavor.
