The following is from The Gourmet Chinese Regional Cookbook; Castle
Press, 1982:
Poach the chicken for 20 minutes, allow it to cool and slice into
pieces 1/8 x 1 1/2 x 1-inch. String the snow peas. Slice the
mushrooms, cabbage and water chestnuts thinly. Heat a skillet or wok,
then add the peanut oil and salt. Just before the oil begins to
smoke, add all the vegetables and stir-fry for 1/2 minute. Add the
water, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken, cornstarch
mixture, pepper and sugar. Stir until the sauce is thickened. Yield:
2-4 servings.
