Servings: persons

1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons soy sauce
4 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon dry sherry
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar
¼ cup peanut oil
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 bunch green onion
1 leek
½ teaspoon peeled and minced gingerroot
1 whole spaghetti squash, baked and shredded.

1
Cut the spaghetti squash in half, scoop out seeds and bake uncovered in the oven till the fibers are tender and separate easily.
2
Cut chicken into half inch cubes and mix in 1 Tbsp soy and cornstarch in a bowl to marinate.
3
Mix together and set aside the remaining soy sauce, sherry, sugar and vinegar.
4
Heat oil in an uncovered wok at 375 degrees-- In practice I always cook this at as high a heat as possible.
5
When hot, add the pepper flakes, stirring until black.
6
Add the chicken and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
7
Remove chicken with a strainer.
8
Add green onion, leek and gingerroot; Stir fry for~1 minute.
9
Add the chicken removed earlier to the vegetables and stir fry for another couple of minutes.
10
Add the sherry/soy mixture-- (I like for the chicken to appear 95% done before I add the sauce since it will continue to cook for a couple minutes even after turning off the wok or pan) Bring sauce to a low boil for about a minute then remove to a serving dish.
11
Serve with Rice or baked spaghetti squash.
