Add dissolved cornstarch and stir until slightly thickened. Keep warm. Heat ½ in of vegetable oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Fry chicken until golden brown on both sides. Drain, then cut into ¾ inch wide strips. Set aside and keep warm. Wipe out skillet, add small amount of vegetable oil and heat over medium high heat. Add bean sprouts, snow peas, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts and stir fry until crisp-tender. Transfer to heated platter. Top with chicken and spoon lemon sauce over.
