CUT THE CHICKEN INTO VERY THIN shreds and combine these with the egg white,
salt and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix well and chill in the refrigerator for
about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, trim the bean sprouts, finely shred the snow
peas lengthwise, and shred or slice the water chestnuts. Heat the oil in a
wok or large skillet and when it is almost smoking, add the chicken. Stir-

the drained chicken to the pan, stir to mix well, and add the salt. Give
the mixture a few more stirs and then turn it onto a warm serving platter.
