	Method: 
	
	    Mix and marinate the diced chicken with the next 5
	    ingredients. Set aside. 
	    Heat oil in a non-stick wok or pan. Saute hot pepper,
	    ginger root, and garlic. 
	    Add chicken and stir-fry until color turns (about 1 1/2 -
	    2 minutes). Remove. 
	    Add the last 7 ingredients; bring to a boil and add soy
	    sauce or salt and 
	    pepper to taste. Add blended cornstarch; mix well. 
	    Add cooked chicken, nuts, sesame oil and mix well. Serve hot. 
	
	    Step 1 of the Method can be prepared in advance. The marinated 
	    chicken can be frozen for weeks. Before using, thaw completely.
	    When you have time, I suggest you do this first step ahead of time.
	    You will have less work and pressure while preparing this dish and
	    will enjoy it more. 
	
	Makes 6 servings.
