Recipe by Betty SooHoo Eng, Instructor - Mayland Community College serves
about 6 people

1. Heat wok over high heat until hot (omit preheating if your wok is teflon
coated). Put in 2 tablespoons cooking oil, add chicken, stir fry for 2
minutes or until chicken is brown, remove and set aside.

2.Put 2 tablespoons cooking oil in hot wok, put in ginger,garlic, Hoisin
sauce, and bean sauce. Then put in all the diced vegetables. Stir fry for 1
minute. Pour in 1/4 cup of water or chicken stock, cover and cook for 2
minutes.

3. Put in the cooked chicken and sesame oil, Stir in cornstarch to thicken.
Remove to a serving plate. Sprinkle roasted cashew nuts on top. Serve hot.

My notes: Ingredients in Hoisin Sauce : sugar, vinegar, soy bean, water,
salt, wheat flour, garlic, sesame seed, chili, spices and artificial color
(fd&c red#4) It is bottled in Hong Kong.

If anyone is still interested in Oriental recipes I have the recipe for:
Beef Lo Mein, Steak with Onion, Chicken fried Rice, and Sweet and Sour
Soup. Let me know.

Ruth, who will be going again to Knoxville TN. again this weekend for a
