• Add walnuts and bring to a boil again and cook for 1 minute.
• Rinse under running water and drain.
• Place walnuts in a large bowl, add sugar and toss to mix.
• Heat oil in skillet to 350°F.

Steps:

• Make sure to start your rice before starting the Walnut Chicken!
• Cut chicken into half-inch pieces.
• Mix 3 T cornstarch, 2 T of the oil and 2 T soy sauce in the bottom of a large bowl (add more soy sauce if needed, until the cornstarch is smooth and semi-liquid).
• Add the sugar, garlic and ginger powder and mix.
• Add the chicken and stir to coat. Put aside.
• Heat 1 T oil in a large frying pan. Fry the walnuts until they are golden brown. It takes a while to get the nuts up to temperature, but then they brown very rapidly.
• Move the walnuts to a separate bowl.
• Put the chicken in the heated frying pan and stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the pieces are separated.
• Add the nuts to the chicken and stir-fry for a couple more minutes.
• Add the warm water and 1/2 C of soy sauce to the pan and stir to make a sauce.
• If more sauce is desired, just add additional water and heat.
• Serve hot with rice.
