CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH MIXED PEPPERS
I used green peppers only for this stir-fry. Try to use a mix of hot and sweet peppers, and feel free to use red, yellow or orange ones if you want to introduce some color. The chicken is "velveted" before stir-frying; a good name for this technique as the texture of the chicken remains velvety and moist after stir-frying.

Steps:
- In a large bowl stir together the egg white, cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the rice wine or sherry, salt to taste and 1 1/2 teaspoons water. When you can no longer see any cornstarch add the chicken and stir together until coated. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Combine the remaining rice wine or sherry, the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl and set it near your wok.
- Fill a medium-size saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and turn the heat down so that the water is at a bare simmer. Carefully add the chicken to the water, stirring so that the pieces don't clump. Cook until the chicken turns opaque on the surface but is not cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander set over a bowl.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add the remaining oil by pouring it down the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and chile and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the peppers and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken, cashews and hoisin sauce mixture and salt to taste. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, and serve with grains or noodles.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-fries because it allows you to cook the food quickly and evenly.
- High Heat: Stir-fries are cooked over high heat, so make sure your burner is turned up high before you start cooking.
- Stir Constantly: Stir the food constantly while it is cooking. This will help prevent it from sticking to the pan and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Don't overcrowd the pan with too much food. This will make it difficult to stir and cook the food evenly.
- Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your stir-fry the best flavor and texture.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, but not mushy.
- Season to Taste: Season the stir-fry with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and other seasonings to taste.
