Ingredients:  
1 chicken
3 c. water
1 T. water
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. salt

Directions:
Directions:
Cut off the breast meat. Put the rest of the chicken, including the bones, in 3 cups of water and simmer until rich stock results. Pound the breast meat for 15 minutes, removing all the tendons while pounding. If meat becomes too dry add 1 tablespoon of water and pound 15 minutes longer. Add dry cornstarch, salt and 2 unbeaten egg whites. Mix well and very slowly and the 1/2 cup of cold water using 2 pairs of chopsticks, or a fork, or a wire whisk. Do not add the water too quickly or the mixture will not hold together. Beat remaining egg whites until stiff but not dry. Carefully fold the chicken mixture into the egg whites. Heat pan and add oil. When the oil is not yet too hot, pour in the mixture. Remove pan from heat at once and beat rapidly. After oil is beaten into the mixture, replace on low heat and cook 4 seconds. Remove and pour through a strainer. Allow oil to drain. Reheat pan and add 2 tbs. oil. Add the mixture of cornstarch, salt, stock and sherry. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add cooked chicken mixture, and heat through.
