Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Mix the egg whites, sherry, cornstarch, and salt together thoroughly, then toss the pieces in the flour. Leave the breaded chicken pieces apart for a while to allow the coating to dry. Wash and trim the bell peppers and cut into large cubes. Peel and chop the garlic clove. Peel and finely chop the ginger. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan and briefly fry the ginger and garlic. Add the chicken and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then remove everything from the pan and keep warm. Add the remaining oil to the meat pot, heat it up, and simmer the bell peppers briefly. Return the chicken to the pan with ginger and garlic, and mix everything well. Mix together the sherry, sugar, soy sauce, and water. Pour the sauce over the chicken dish, stir through, season to taste, and serve immediately. Serve with rice and a green salad.
