simple, quick, delicious

Remove the skin and bones from the chicken, then dice it. Mix the cornstarch, water, and egg white. Pour over the chicken and mix well. Cut the leek into 1 cm pieces. Finely chop the garlic and ginger root. Mix the soy sauce, sherry, salt, and sugar. Heat 4 tablespoons of oil. Add the chicken and stir-fry until it loses its pink color, about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan. Heat the remaining oil. Add the garlic, ginger root, and leek and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until lightly browned. Return the chicken and stir-fry for another minute. Stir in the soy and sherry mixture and heat to blend the flavors. Quickly stir in the roasted peanuts and serve immediately. This dish goes well with rice. Note: I like to use powdered ginger instead of fresh ginger root.
