Method

In a bowl, mix together cornstarch, water and egg white. Add chicken and toss until thoroughly mixed. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, bourbon and sugar then set aside. Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat until a drop of water skittles across and evaporates immediately. Add 2 tablespoons oil, swirl, and add chicken. Quickly stir fry 3 to 5 minutes or until no pink shows. Remove from pan and set aside. Reduce heat to medium high and add remaining oil to pan. Add scallions, ginger and garlic then stir fry for 1 minute. Return chicken to pan. Add soy sauce and bourbon mixture and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Stir in walnuts, mix well, and serve with hot cooked rice.
