Step 1:
In a bowl, mix the water and cornflour; set aside.
Step 2:
In a sizable bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of wine, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of the corn/water mixture. Chicken pieces should be added and fried. Place the dish in the fridge with a cover on for about 30 minutes.
Step 3:
In a medium bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of wine, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch/water combination. Add and thoroughly combine the garlic, green onions, water chestnuts, and peanuts.
Step 4:
A medium pan should now contain the water-walnut mixture. Heat slowly over medium heat until fragrant.
Step 5:
Transfer the chicken from the coating onto a large pan and cook, frequently tossing, over medium-high heat until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the juices run clear.
Step 6:
chicken and the water walnut combination should be combined in one pan. Boil the sauce until it thickens while constantly adjusting the heat.
Tips:
Use Shaoxing wine if you have any on hand. You can change out the water walnuts for bamboo shoots and the peanuts for cashews. Red and green bell peppers can be added in cube form if you want to color and taste.
