MOM'S CHINESE WALNUT CHICKEN
This is a dish my mom has been making forever. It is very tasty and appeals to all. We only serve this dish occasionally as it is pretty high salt -- although it is probably lower in sodium than anything you would get at a Chinese restaurant. You should adjust the garlic and ginger to your taste as my mom has never measured how much she uses. We usually serve this with brown rice and a couple of vegetables (a green and an orange so that the table is aesthetically pleasing).

Steps:
- 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.

Steps:
- Cut the chicken breasts into slivers (1 inch by 1/4 inch).
- Stir together soy sauce, wine, vinegar, ginger and garlic. Add the chicken pieces, mix so the chicken is coated with the marinade and let stand for at least 15 minutes.
- Add oil to wok over high heat. When oil is hot, add the walnut pieces. Toss until the color changes, less than a minute. Set aside.
- Add the scallions to the rest of the oil and fry briefly until the color brightens. Set aside.
- Add the chicken to the pan, reserving the marinade. Stir-fry until opaque, 1-2 minutes.
- Add the stock and the reserved marinade and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir the cornstarch in the water so it is evenly dissolved and add it to the mix along with the scallions. Cook and stir until the sauce is thickened.
- Serve with the walnuts.

- In a saucepan on medium high heat add the sugar and allow to melt. You don't need to touch it. Once it is just melted add in all the walnuts and stir/toss the pan around so all the walnuts are coated. Pour the contents in one layer onto a sheet of parchment paper and let cool.
- In a bowl add the chicken pieces along with the soy sauces, rice wine, and potato starch. Mix everything up and let sit while you cook the mushrooms.
- Back in the pan add the oil and put the heat on medium high. When hot add in the quartered mushrooms and let cook. It's hard to overcook mushrooms so you don't need to worry with the pan too much. I let them brown on the edges and toss the pan every minute or so. After the mushrooms are sufficiently browned add the bowl of chicken and marinade.
- As soon as you add the chicken and marinade to the pan start stirring/tossing the pan. The chicken will only take 2-3 minutes to cook. While the chicken is cooking you can break up the walnuts.
